Endpoint Security includes tools to find unprotected workstations and servers on the network and to open a remote, unattended installation session from the Endpoint Security management UI. To minimize long lists of discovered computers that contain devices not eligible for Endpoint Security, you can hide computers to exclude them from the installation.
For accounts with more than one WatchGuard product license (for example, an Endpoint Security product license and a FireCloud license), the Configure > Agent Deployment page in WatchGuard Cloud is useful to centrally configure product deployment behavior for endpoint groups and endpoints. For more information, go to Configure WatchGuard Agent Deployment in WatchGuard Cloud.
Your operator role determines what you can see and do in WatchGuard Cloud. Your role must have the Add Filters, Lists, and Scheduled Reports permission to view or configure this feature. For more information, go to Manage WatchGuard Cloud Operators and Roles.
