Download PROTECT Agent
The GuardWare PROTECT Agent is installed on endpoint devices, such as desktops, laptops, and servers, within your organisation. It protects sensitive files by applying encryption and access controls, ensuring that only authorised users can access protected data even when files are shared, copied, or moved outside the organisation.
You can download the PROTECT Agent directly from the Management Console. The downloaded agent includes the MSI configuration defined for your organisation, so no additional setup is required during installation.
Prerequisite
To download the agent, you must first set up the Agent Installation Settings. These settings allow administrators to configure installation parameters for the GuardWare PROTECT Agent MSI installer.
The download link only appears after the configuration is complete.
