## Key Capabilities

### Endpoint Management

#### Asset Management

Maintain a real-time inventory of every Linux device, software version, and license across your environment.

- Periodic hardware and software inventory scans
- Software license and warranty tracking
- Email alerts on hardware and software events
- Comprehensive web-based inventory reports

#### Software Deployment

Distribute and manage applications remotely without user intervention.

- Install or uninstall DEB and RPM based applications
- Schedule deployment during non-business hours
- 3500+ pre-defined templates

### Risk & Remediation

#### Vulnerability Management

Identify and prioritize security weaknesses across Linux environment before they become threats.

- Identify and mitigate zero-day vulnerabilities
- Audit endpoints against CIS hardening standards
- Detect open and unauthorized high-risk ports
- Track AV installation and definition updates
- Identify insecure settings and End-of-Life software

#### Patch Management

Automate and streamline patching to ensure Linux endpoints remain secure, compliant, and up to date.

- Schedule and deploy patches with minimal manual intervention
- Pilot group testing before production rollout
- Patch by severity with policy-based prioritization
- Run scripts around pre/post patch reboot windows
- Track compliance audits with scheduled reports
- Empower users with self-service patch actions

### System Tools

#### Remote Control

Securely access and troubleshoot Linux endpoints.

- HTML5-based viewers for remote sessions
- Multi-monitor support with easy switching options
- User-confirmation prompts before session initiation

#### System Manager

Execute powerful troubleshooting actions silently from a unified console.

- Terminate processes and run commands remotely
- Transfer files securely between admin console and endpoints
- Manage system services and scheduled tasks with ease

#### Remote Shutdown and Wake on LAN

Control endpoint availability and uptime from anywhere.

- Remotely shut down or restart instantly or on schedule
- Wake devices remotely using Wake-on-LAN
- Notify users before actions to avoid disruption

### Configurations

#### Standardize your environment with powerful scripting

Predefined templates, custom scripts, scheduled installs, and targeted messaging.

- 30+ predefined templates for user and file operations
- Run custom scripts to automate repetitive admin work
- Install or uninstall patches and software by schedule
- Display messages to target users

### Reporting & Compliance

#### Full visibility into Linux endpoint health and compliance

Gain visibility into Linux endpoint health, patch status, software deployment outcomes, and asset details with built-in reports.

- Comprehensive dashboard for real-time insights
- Patch compliance and system health reporting
- Software deployment status and asset reporting
- Advanced customizations for business-specific reporting
- Scheduled report delivery via email

## On the roadmap for Linux

### 1. Application Control

Manage, whitelist, and blacklist applications on Linux endpoints to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized software usage.

Currently available as a workaround.

### 2. Device Control

Restrict and manage peripheral devices on Linux endpoints to block unauthorized access and prevent data leakage.

Currently available as a workaround.

### 3. Disk Encryption

Manage full-disk encryption on Linux endpoints with centralized visibility to ensure security and compliance.

### 4. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)

Enable real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across Linux endpoints to stay ahead of security threats.

### 5. Digital Experience (DEX) Monitoring

Monitor end-user experience metrics including performance, app responsiveness, and system health for proactive issue resolution.
