How CylanceON-PREM Works
CylanceON-PREM deploys as a virtual appliance to a customer-sourced server
in the customer’s closed environment. Once installed, it provides local security
administration through the virtualized management console. This allows a closed
network to remain closed while still maintaining a strong security posture against
inside threats.
CylanceON-PREM installs the Cylance Management Console to facilitate security-
related communication across the infrastructure without exposing the air-gapped
network to the Internet. Organizations can manage policies, agents, users, devices,
quarantine lists, safelists, and device tags using a local copy of the Cylance
Management Console. CylanceON-PREM secures organization infrastructure against
threats, including infected USB devices or on-site installation of hostile programs,
which air-gapping cannot prevent. The network remains air-gapped and private.
