How Can We Help?
Health And Security
Device Health & Security
The ProVConnect Device Agent, when executing an inventory command, will gather data about its Health and security, and then send the data back to the server. Those data are displayed on the device list in a friendly user way and gives information to the administrators for all his devices’ health and security.
It is also possible to monitor those properties in order to engage preemptive actions in case of non-conform devices following administrators’ requirements in terms of health and security. Monitoring the Health and security of the device will also give much more accurate data over time.

The Security data are displayed with colored rounded shaped icons. They come from the windows security center.
In order for third party security solutions (antivirus, antimalware, or antispyware) to be compliant with Windows… they are required to register themselves with Security Center and report any subsequent status changes. Only in this case the ProVConnect Device Agent will recognize these third party security solutions in the security data.
