As soon as a Sentinel One is installed on endpoints, it actively scans for threats. It is best to set up exclusions for endpoint agents BEFORE installing the agent.
NOTE: While we update this guide from time to time, we cannot guarantee compatibility as Antivirus software companies may make changes without informing us. Be sure to re-enable any antivirus settings that you disable during this process once the exclusions have been set.
- Find your company’s Veriato Vision installation folder.
- Open a browser and login to your Veriato Vision account at https://app.veriatocloud.com/.
- Go to theAdmin | Company Account
- Under Antivirus Exclusions note the randomly named Windows folder to exclude. For example:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\yyyxxxx - In addition, note the Hotkey Sequence you will need to test the agent after installation.
