Deploying Coro on Windows endpoints¶

This guide describes the process for deploying the Coro Agent to Windows endpoints.

Prerequisites and system requirements¶

Before you begin, make sure your Windows device meets the following prerequisites:

• Coro Security Platform utilizes a Bitdefender Software Development Kit (SDK). To avoid conflicts that may interfere with the installation of the Coro Agent, Bitdefender and any other antivirus software based on Bitdefender must be uninstalled prior to installing the Coro Agent.

• Windows devices must meet the minimum specifications.

Deployment options¶

Install Coro Agent through one of the processes described below:

• Self-install on single devices: An administrator obtains and emails an installer link to specific users on whose device it must be installed. The user selects the link and follows the instructions to install the software on their device. See Downloading and installing the Agent, below.

  This same process can be used to upgrade existing Agent versions (for version 1.5 and later).

• Mass deployment: An administrator downloads a copy of the Agent installer package, then deploys it to all devices using a mass deployment tool or method.

  Coro provides a number of articles covering mass deployment scenarios. To learn more:

  • Deploying Coro with Datto RMM
  • Deploying Coro with Windows Server GPO
  • Deploying Coro with Microsoft InTune

Downloading and installing the Agent¶

To download and install (or upgrade) the Coro Agent, perform the following steps:

1. Log into the Coro console.
2. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner to access the Control Panel.
3. Select Devices > Agent Deployment.
4. Scroll down to the Windows section.

Admin users can choose to:

• Get a download link URL for the agent installer:

  1. Select Copy link.

  2. A Copy Download Link dialog is displayed containing a URL link to the agent installation file.

     

  3. Select the COPY button to copy the link to your clipboard.

  To install the agent, paste the link into a web browser and follow the instructions to install.

  Note

  Admin users can provide this link to all endpoint device users to install the agent directly. Alternatively, the same link can be used for mass deployment tools.

• Download the installer file directly:

  1. Select Download to download the agent installation file to your local device.
  2. After the download is complete, open the installation file, and follow the instructions to install.

After the installation is complete, the Agent may download additional updates:

Then, after the installation and update process is complete, you can open the agent from the Windows system tray:

Configuring endpoint monitoring (Optional)¶

In addition to its basic functions, Coro provides specific endpoint monitoring capabilities that you can enable or disable.

To configure your endpoint monitoring settings, log in to your Coro console and select Control Panel > Devices > Settings. To learn more, see Protection Settings.

These settings apply to all devices in the workspace.
