  • 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, 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 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.

Info

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.
