Installation on Android systems
Protection deployment overview
The installation process consists of a series of steps that depend on whether the target devices are managed with an MDM/EMM solution or not.
MDM (Movile Device Management)/EMM (Enterprise Mobility Management) is software that enables organizations to monitor and manage mobile devices regardless of the mobile operator or service provider chosen. MDM/EMM solutions enable you to remotely install apps on managed devices, locate and track managed devices, sync files across them, and report data remotely and centrally. These solutions are commonly found in companies that manage a large number of devices.
To deploy and install the protection software, follow these steps:
-
Find unprotected devices on the network.
-
Verify minimum requirements for target devices. See Installation requirements.
-
Uninstall competitor products prior to installing Advanced EPDR.
-
Determine device default settings. See Determine device default settings.
-
Select a deployment strategy based on whether the target device is enrolled into an MDM/EMM solution. See Select a deployment strategy.
Find unprotected devices on the network
Find devices on the network without protection installed or with a third-party security product that needs replacing or complementing with Advanced EPDR. Verify that you have purchased enough licenses for the unprotected devices. See Licenses.
Advanced EPDR enables you to install the software even when you do not have enough licenses for all the computers you want to protect. Computers without a license show in the management console with some information (such as installed software and hardware), but are not protected.
Determine device default settings
When the software is installed on the computer or device, Advanced EPDR assigns the All group security settings to it. However, during installation, you can select a different target group for the computer with the required settings. To create and assign new settings profiles, see Managing settings.
Select a deployment strategy
Depending on whether the target devices are enrolled into an MDM/EMM solution or not, and on the type of solution, the following deployment types are supported:
-
Manual deployment on devices not enrolled into an MDM/EMM solution. See Manually deploying and installing the Android agent.
-
Deployment using a third-party MDM/EMM solution. See Deploying the Android agent using an MDM/EMM solution .
