Active Protect by CyberSmart is a 24/7 threat detection software that offers continuous device, user, and application vulnerability scanning. It includes cybersecurity awareness training and IT policy creation and implementation to protect your people, processes, and technology. Active Protect is a powerful on-device agent designed to deliver comprehensive endpoint monitoring, risk management, policy enforcement, and cybersecurity awareness training. It works by running an unobtrusive agent in the background of devices, checking configurations, training modules passed, and policies acknowledged. The app can be downloaded via email for desktop or through the app store for mobile. After scanning a device, results can be reported back to the user, and cybersecurity personnel can view this information through dashboards. Sensitive information is handled by Active Protect without gathering personal or private data from users. Only details about device software, completed training modules, policies completed, and hardware are collected. CyberSmart’s data centres are UK and EU-based, ensuring data is not transmitted abroad, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Active Protect ensures minimal impact on device performance during scans, especially for devices with limited resources. It is powered by a small agent that gathers device data, optimized to reduce CPU usage, ensuring no noticeable device slowdown during checks. CyberSmart checks for vulnerabilities against the US Government’s vulnerability database and 70 Antivirus Databases. Active Protect cannot scan iOS devices for vulnerabilities due to limitations imposed by Apple. It protects organizations from cyber threats through compliance, policy management, training, and device scanning. Active Protect monitors devices for misconfigurations and identifies new software vulnerabilities, but organizations will still need an RMM to wipe, lock, or make changes to devices remotely.
