What level of Windows User Account Control (UAC) must be enabled for Coro to enforce a UAC Notification Missing policy?
Coro enforces the UAC Notification Missing policy when Windows User Account Control settings are set to:
- Default
- Low
- Medium
Important
Windows UAC is considered vulnerable when set to Low or Medium.
For more information, see UAC Notification.
If an admin user configures a Remote Password & Session Locking policy on my workspace, how does the Coro agent detect how old my existing password is?
The Coro agent is capable of extracting user profile information directly from your device to determine the age of your existing password.
For more information, see Remote password and session locking.
Does Coro have the capability to auto-enforce hard drive encryption without allowing the end user to disable it?
While Coro can perform hard drive encryption, there is no method to ensure this functionality is auto-enforced. It is a manual remediation action performed by an admin user in the Coro console, either from the Devices page or from the Ticket Log.
important
Coro supports device drive encryption for:
- Internal and external drives on Windows devices.
- Internal drives on macOS devices.
For more information, see Encryption for endpoints with Windows operating systems
For specific devices, how far back does Coro log recently logged in users?
Coro maintains a record of the previous three logged in users.
If I am running another Antivirus (AV) product, and it detects and quarantines a potentially malicious file, will Coro still detect this already quarantined file?
No, if a potentially malicious file has already been quarantined by another AV product, Coro does not detect it.
Where are encryption keys stored?
Encryption keys are stored on both the device (by BitLocker) and on the Coro servers.
Additionally, BitLocker recovery keys are displayed for all encrypted drives on a device. The recovery key is displayed within the expanded Drives section of the affected device on the Devices page:
For more information, see Encryption for endpoints with Windows operating systems
When an employee or contractor leaves the company, can an admin user remove the endpoint device linked to that employee, or does Tamper Protection prevent this?
Yes, an admin user with sufficient permissions can remove the endpoint device linked to that employee after disabling protection for the device.
Tamper Protection prevents corruption or unauthorized uninstallation of the Coro Agent on user devices. The entire workspace shares this setting. If clients want their employees to uninstall Coro independently, an admin user must disable protection for the specific device instead of the entire workspace.
To disable protection on an endpoint device:
-
Sign into the Coro console
and select
Devices
from the toolbar:
-
Locate the desired device, and select
Actions
>
Disable protection
.
After the set Heartbeat Interval elapses, the device's protection is disabled, allowing the user to uninstall Coro.
note
Protection on the device remains disabled until the first reboot.
For more information, see Device actions.
How do I disable Coro app notifications?
Although app notifications cannot be configured directly from the Coro Console, they can be configured from the device itself as follows.
Mac:
- Select Apple menu > System Settings .
- Select Notifications in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down).
- Select the app or website on the right.
- Disable Allow notifications .
Notifications are disabled and are not received until Allow notifications is re-enabled.
Windows:
- Open Windows Settings by pressing the Win + I keys simultaneously.
- From the System page, select Notifications .
- Disable the Notifications toggle for the app.
Notifications are disabled and are not received until Allow notifications is re-enabled.
Does Coro detect data governance issues within Computer-Aided Design (CAD) files?
No, Coro does not detect data governance issues within CAD files.
Can Coro retroactively remediate tickets? For example, if a ticket is generated after my Coro trial expires, and therefore no remediation is performed, will Coro perform remediation on the ticket after I purchase Coro, or extend my trial period?
No, Coro does not perform any actions retroactively.
Under what conditions does Coro create a ticket and leave it open for an admin user to review and take action?
Coro employs adaptive data-driven or artificial intelligence (AI) driven decisions for detection, alerting, and remediation.
For more information, see Tickets in Coro.
Is it safe to use other installed antivirus (AV) products alongside Coro?
It is not advised to install other antivirus software alongside Coro, as the performance of both products will be negatively impacted. Windows Defender is, however, fully compatible with Coro.
How does Coro resolve malicious software detected on an endpoint or device?
Coro monitors all processes and terminates them if suspicious behavior is detected.
When Advanced Threat Control is enabled, Coro monitors active processes for known and potential threats, and blocks processes (that are not explicitly allowlisted) that exhibit suspicious behavior.
How do I add a process to the Allow/Block list?
The Endpoint Security and EDR module Allow/Block lists allow you to manage your processes by allowing those that are safe to be accessed.
For more information, see:
Does Coro support Linux endpoint protection?
Linux endpoint protection is currently not supported.
Does Coro provide protection for Chromebooks as endpoints?
No, Coro does not provide protection for Chromebooks.
Is Coro compatible with Spark?
Yes, Coro is compatible with Spark.
Can Coro detect malicious scripts embedded in Word, PDF, PPT, and other documents?
Yes, Coro detects malicious scripts embedded in Word, PDF, PPT, and other documents.
What gets backed up within secure shadow backup snapshots?
The entire hard drive of the device is backed up.
For further information, see Secured shadow backups.
Where are secure shadow backup snapshots stored?
Secure shadow backup snapshots are stored in the "System Volume" Information folder (hidden by default), and can be managed in the device's system protection configuration settings.
For further information, see Secured shadow backups.
How do I restore secure shadow backup snapshots?
For instructions on how to restore secure shadow backup snapshots, see Restoring secure shadow backup snapshots.
What does the USB Lockdown device posture policy do?
The USB Lockdown device posture policy blocks mass storage devices on macOS devices. For Windows devices, this extends to block both mass storage and other USB-connected devices, such as media players and smartphones.
I'm traveling outside my usual Wi-Fi network area, and when I try to connect my device to a public Wi-Fi network, the Coro Agent displays a notification: "Connection to <network> is not permitted by your administrator". What should I do?
Your device has a Wi-Fi connection policy enabled. Wi-Fi connection policies prevent devices from connecting to public Wi-Fi networks, only allowing connections to secure, password protected networks.
Admin users can allow the connection by ensuring no device labels that enforce this Wi-Fi connection policy are assigned to your device. Alternatively, they can remove the Wi-Fi connection policy from all devices.
Your device must first connect to a secure network to update its policy. After the policy update, your device is able to connect to public Wi-Fi networks.
note
The time taken for the Wi-Fi connection policy to update depends on your workspace's heartbeat interval.
For more information, see Configuring Wi-Fi connectivity policies.
Does the "Approve This File" and "Exclude Folder from Malware Scan" ticket action apply only to the specific device, or does it extend to all devices within the workspace?
The "Approve This File" and "Exclude Folder from Malware Scan" actions extend to all devices within the workspace.
How do Coro password policies interact with existing Active Directory password policies?
If you set password policies via Active Directory, then you do not need to configure password policies in Coro. Active Directory password policies override Coro password policies.
When running a malware and ransomware scan on an endpoint device, I do not see the results of the scan in the audit log. However, the device itself displays a notification saying admin has requested the scan. Is there any additional place to view more information on the scan results?
If the scan detects malware or ransomware on a device, corresponding tickets are created and are viewable in the ticket log.
For further information, see Ticket types for Endpoint Security.
After executing an exe, msi, and batch file that interacted with the system32 folder, I couldn't find any record in Coro showing this activity. Is there a specific place I should check to view such actions taken by Coro?
While the executed exe, msi, and batch file interacted with the system32 folder, Coro Endpoint Security does not flag or terminate the respective process because this activity is not necessarily indicative of malware.
How can I make an exception in Coro for the identified Java agent on my device, which is being flagged as malicious by Coro and disrupting my daily tasks?
If Coro created an Infected process ticket, you can select "Approve process group" from the ticket actions menu. When a process group is approved by an admin user with sufficient permission, the Coro Agent approves it on all devices in the same workspace. Identical process groups are also considered safe and not terminated.
If Coro created a Malware on endpoint ticket, you can select Approve this file or Exclude folder from malware scan from the ticket actions menu.
When a file is approved by an admin user, the Coro Agent approves it on all devices in the same workspace. The file is removed from quarantine (if applicable). Future identical files are not quarantined.
When a folder is excluded from a malware scan, future malware and ransomware scans will not include the folder specified in the ticket.
For further information, see Ticket types for Endpoint Security.
Does Coro's antivirus (AV) have a ransomware rollback feature?
No, Coro's Antivirus (AV) does not have a ransomware rollback feature. However, admin users with sufficient permissions can enable Secured Shadow Backups on Windows devices. When enabled, Coro enforces backup snapshots every four hours and blocks processes that exhibit risks to the backup. The Coro Agent utilizes the Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) mechanism to automatically save a snapshot of your device's files.
Does Coro automatically retrieve and store device encryption recovery keys, even if the encryption was not initiated by Coro?
Yes, Coro automatically retrieves and stores device encryption recovery keys, even if the encryption was not initiated by Coro.
note
Coro supports this functionality for Windows devices only.
Does the USB lockdown device posture policy prevent mobile devices from charging?
No, mobile devices can still charge while a USB lockdown device posture policy is active on the device. A USB lockdown device posture policy can:
- Block portable devices : USB connected mobile device.
- Block mass storage devices : USB flash drive or USB external hard drive.
For more information, see USB Lockdown.
Does enforcing BitLocker encryption through Coro encrypt the entire disk?
Yes, Coro encrypts the entire disk drive by default. BitLocker encryption through Coro is applied per drive. The primary system drive must be encrypted first. If your device has multiple drives, you have the option to encrypt each one individually.
important
Coro supports device drive encryption for:
- Internal and external drives on Windows devices.
- Internal drives on macOS devices.
Will I receive a notification if a sensitive data scan is missed because the endpoint device was offline?
If a device is offline during a scheduled scan, the scan automatically starts when the device reconnects to Coro.
Can an admin user enforce the Remote Password & Session Locking policy, or does it only detect non-compliance?
Coro enforces Remote Password & Session Locking policies.
Coro immediately implements screen lockout policies and applies password policies when:
- The user logs off the device.
- The device restarts.
- The device enters screen lock.
What do the "Lockout duration" and "Lockout threshold" attributes mean in a screen lockout policy?
- Lockout duration : Specifies how long a user's screen remains locked after the lockout is activated (maximum value 3 hours.)
- Lockout threshold : (attempts): Specifies the number of consecutive failed login attempts that triggers a screen lockout. (maximum value 10.)
note
You must set both parameters to configure a screen lockout policy.
For further information, see Remote password and session locking.
Can I schedule antivirus (AV) scans?
Coro is designed to provide real-time antivirus scanning for continuous protection of your endpoint devices. Consequently, Coro does not provide the ability to selectively schedule antivirus scans. The Coro Agent operates in real-time, scanning files whenever a user or process attempts to access them. If a file is identified as malicious, Coro quarantines it. Coro also detects and terminates potentially malicious processes.
Advanced threat control (ATC) provides an additional layer of real-time monitoring by analyzing processes as they run/execute for known and potential threats. ATC blocks any processes that exhibit suspicious behavior.
