Background Note on CESM Agent: The CESM agent is a small application installed on every managed endpoint to facilitate communication between the endpoint and the CESM central server. The agent is responsible for receiving tasks and passing them to the endpoint’s installation of Comodo Security Software (CES, CAS OR CAV for Mac). Example tasks include changes in security policy, an on-demand virus scan, updates to the local antivirus database or gathering reports that have been requested by the central service. As an additional security feature, endpoint agents can only communicate with the specific instance of the central service which provisioned the agent. This means the agent cannot be reconfigured to connect to any other CESM service. The agent also acts as a tool for endpoint users to interact with the administrators for resolving any issues in their systems.
