CyberCNS provides a Single Downloadable Agent which can be used as a Probe (the so-called Regular or Network Agent) OR a Lightweight Agent OR a Scan Agent. You can choose the correct agent configuration based on your requirement. This document provides a way to decide which configuration is best suitable.
Navigate to Overview and click on Probes/Agents to download the Agent.
CyberCNS has three different types of installations that can be used depending on the requirement. These are Probe, LightWeight Lightweight, and Scan.
Choose the OS Type as Windows/ Mac/ Linux, or ARM and download the required Probes / Agents (Probe/Lightweight/Scan) and copy it into the remote machine, and run the command.
...
A Probe or Network Agent is typically installed on any machine in the network and will scan all assets in that defined network.
A Lightweight agent Agent, on the other hand, is installed on an end user’s system and will only scan that particular asset (useful in work-from-home scenarios when the user is not on the corporate/office network).
The agent will behave as a Probe or Lightweight agent depending on the command line arguments passed while during installation. These commands are to be used for installation and are readily provided in the CyberCNS console while downloading an agent.
CyberCNS agent uses silent installation so it is easy to push through any RMM.
Probe & Lightweight agents pull the same information except, lightweight does not provide Network Scan Findings.

|---|
we no longer support the installation of agents on Windows 2008 R2 in v3 , and in V4 agent. This decision is based on the absence of some required kernel Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) in this operating system, particularly due to limitations imposed by GoLang. |
