Frequently asked questions
CyberSmart Active Protect is a powerful on-device agent designed to deliver comprehensive endpoint monitoring, risk management, policy enforcement, and cybersecurity awareness training. With a strong emphasis on security and compliance, it prioritises the protection of your organisation’s sensitive data and ensures you’re meeting regulatory requirements.
Active Protect works by running an unobtrusive agent in the background of devices, checking configurations, training modules passed and policies acknowledged. For desktop, the app can be downloaded via email once an administrator has sent out the enrollment link or for mobile, this can be done through the relevant app store. Once a device has been scanned, passes and failures can be reported back to the user and employees responsible for cybersecurity will be able to view this information through several dashboards.
No personal or private data is gathered from users, instead, only details about device software, completed training modules, policies completed and hardware are gathered. CyberSmart’s data centres are also UK and EU-based, so your data is not transmitted abroad, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Yes, device and software data is represented in multiple graphs and insights throughout the CyberSmart platform.
Active Protect is powered by a small, unobtrusive agent that gathers device data. The agent has been optimised to reduce CPU usage, via our API, and users should not notice any discernible device slowdown when checks are running.
CyberSmart checks for vulnerabilities against the US Government’s vulnerability database; one of the most comprehensive databases in the world for software vulnerabilities as well as against 70 Antivirus Databases.
Due to limitations imposed by Apple, Active Protect cannot scan iOS devices for vulnerabilities. For Android, software vulnerabilities are scanned and users are notified of any apps deemsd to be suspicious or malicious.
Active Protect is a comprehensive cybersecurity solution that protects organisations from cyber threats through compliance, policy management, training and device scanning. The role of an RMM is to give IT teams and managed IT providers remote access to devices to make changes, monitor performance and run tests. Although Active Protect monitors devices for misconfigurations and identifies new software vulnerabilities, organisations will still need an RMM to wipe, lock or make changes to devices remotely.
