The Vanta Device Monitor is read-only, meaning it will not modify any settings on your machines. It has limited functionality to read data (Vanta deploys a modified version of osquery that excludes tables that we find dangerous). The agent does not access sensitive information, such as passwords, emails, or browsing history.
Downloading the Vanta Device Monitor
Employees will be sent an email to complete their security tasks. Once they log into their personal security tasks page, they will be instructed to download the Vanta Device Monitor:
Click the purple Download button to begin downloading the Vanta Device Monitor file.
Double click on the installer to open the setup wizard, and then follow the prompts in the setup wizard until a prompt appears requesting a registration code.
This code can be found on your Vanta onboarding page (where you downloaded the agent) under step 3 of the 'Windows installation instructions'. Note this key is unique to your login, please do not share this code with others:
Copy and paste the key into the setup wizard prompt and click Next to complete the installation.
Once installed, the module can be closed. The Vanta Device Monitor will continue to run silently in the background.
