Setting up a Windows agent is straightforward. Follow the below steps to install and validate the agent on Windows Systems.

Windows Agent Setup Pre-requisites
1. Ensure the user has administrative privileges to install the agent.
2. The PowerShell script execution policy must not be set to "Restricted"
  • To check the current execution policy, run the following command in PowerShell                                                                                             Get-ExecutionPolicy

  • If the execution Policy is set to “Restricted” change it to “RemoteSigned” by running the following command on powershell      Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

  • If the execution policy is "RemoteSigned", you need to whitelist the SecOps Solution Code Signing Certificate in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" and "Trusted Publishers" folders on your local machine.

3. Network requirements

  1. Enable outbound HTTP on port 80 for SecOps Central Server (http://<SecOps Central Server IP>:8000) and outbound HTTP WebSocket (WSS) traffic (port 80) to ws:://<SecOps Central Server IP>:5678

Export the Windows Agent
1. Navigate to the Asset Module
  • In the top navigation panel of the SecOps platform, click on the Asset module to access the asset management functionality.

2. Initiate the Onboarding Process

  • Click on Add Asset to open the asset onboarding form.

  • Select the Agent-based option to proceed.

3. Provide Agent Information

  • Agent Mode: Select Endpoint to set up the agent directly on the target machines.

  • Agent Name: Enter a name for the agent that aligns with your naming conventions for easy identification.

  • Operating System: Choose the asset's operating system and its version from the available options.

  • Asset Groups: Optionally, assign the asset to one or more asset groups to help categorize and manage it effectively.

  • Criticality Level: Set the asset’s criticality level to determine its importance and impact in your operations.

4. Download Agent Details

  • After completing the form, click on Download Agent to generate the agent details.
  • Navigate to the Notifications section to retrieve the following:

    1. Agent Download URL: The link to download the agent installation package.

    2. License Key: A unique key to activate the agent during installation.

Download and Install the Agent
1. You will receive an agent download link and a license key on the dashboard.
2. Download the installer file on the Windows machine.
3. Run the installer and select On-prem as the installation mode.
4. Enter the license key and follow the prompts to complete the installation.
Validate Installation
1. Check the agent setup on your dashboard in the Assets tab.
2. Alternatively, verify the secops_server process is running in the Task Manager.
3. If the process is not running, start or restart the "SecopsService" from Windows Service.
