Completing the Installation

Once you acquire a Shield Guard Service license and install and launch the Shield Guard Agent on one or more devices, the following occurs for each device:

1. The devices become available for import into a tenant via the Devices page on the portal. To add devices to a tenant, use the Import Devices from MarketPlace window.

2. On the portal, when you assign a security policy to a device, Shield Guard makes an initial device assessment and the following occurs:

   • The agent queries the portal and retrieves and stores the current policy settings.

   • The agent reports the statuses of the device’s security settings to the portal.

   • The portal compares the statuses of the device’s security settings to the corresponding settings in the policy and assesses the device as Secure or Not Secure based on the device’s compliance to the security policy.

   • The Dashboard and Devices pages on the Shield Guard Portal update to include the current statuses of all devices monitored by the security policy.

   • The Logs page updates to include details of recent activity within the tenant.

3. Once the initial device assessment is complete, you can begin to remotely monitor the security status of the device.

4. Henceforth, Shield Guard monitors the device’s security status based on the communication frequency settings configured in the Policy Settings. No other configuration at the portal is necessary.

Note: The portal includes two sample policies to help you get started, or you can create your own custom policies.
