Don’t use an MDM? The Vanta Agent is here to help! It can be installed on all company computers to monitor compliance continually. This software uses OSQuery to detect specific settings and applications installed on the devices. The Vanta Agent is a lightweight program designed to run in the background of your computer. It has a very low-performance impact: once you install the app and register your device, you shouldn’t notice it.
The Vanta Agent is read-only, which means it will not change anything 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 read sensitive information like passwords, emails, or browsing history.
Installing the Agent
- Employees should download the Vanta Agent as part of their security tasks. Once they log into https://app.vanta.com/onboarding, they will be instructed to download the Vanta Agent for their operating system
- Vanta will automatically detect which software you have installed and give you the correct version of the agent
- An employees registration key is unique to their Vanta profile and should not be shared.
- If you use an MDM not yet supported by Vanta? Visit https://app.vanta.com/computers#unmonitored to view the scripts necessary to install the agent via MDM
