Endpoint allowlisting and antivirus considerations for the Endpoint Security agent

SECURITY   Service account or administrator-level rights on the target endpoint

To enable real-time security scanning, Datto EDR has several binaries that you'll need to allowlist for execution in the security tools on your target endpoints. You can implement the exclusions by hash or by file and path.

This article describes the files you'll need to add to your exception policies. To learn about networking requirements for the Endpoint Security agent, refer to Endpoint firewall and networking requirements for the Endpoint Security agent.
