Automating Default Software Installation After SecPod Agent Deployment

Overview

When deploying the SecPod Agent across endpoints, you may want to automatically install a set of default software packages to ensure consistency and save manual effort. This can be achieved using the Provision feature in the Endpoint Management (EM) module.

Steps to Automate Software Deployment

1. Navigate to Endpoint Management (EM):
   Open the EM module from your SecPod Console.

2. Create a Rule under Software Deployment:

   • Go to Software Deployment → Provision.

   • Select the target group where you want the default software to be applied.

   • Create a rule and define the list of software packages that should be installed.
     

3. Automatic Deployment on Agent Installation:

   • Once the rule is active, whenever a SecPod Agent is installed on a device that belongs to the selected group, the defined software packages will be deployed and installed automatically.

Important Considerations

• Separate Rules per OS Family:
  A distinct rule must be created for each software family (e.g., Windows, Unix, macOS).

• Configuration Reference:
  Refer to the attached screenshot for detailed guidance on creating and configuring the rules.

• Scalability:
  This approach helps reduce manual effort and ensures all endpoints have the required software baseline.

Conclusion

By leveraging the Provision feature in Endpoint Management, you can automate default software installation post-agent deployment, ensuring consistency across your environment.
