## Agent Deployment

### Installation

Deploy the Sentry agent to team devices:

1. **Generate Enrollment Commands**: Navigate to Endpoint Protection and click "Enroll New Device"
2. **OS-Specific Instructions**: Copy the installation command for each platform:
   * **macOS**: Single-line terminal command
   * **Windows**: PowerShell script
   * **Linux**: Bash script with package manager options
3. **Agent Installation**: Team members run the command on their devices with administrative privileges
4. **Automatic Enrollment**: Devices appear in Sentry within minutes

### Device Management

**Device Inventory**:

* View all enrolled devices
* See device owners and types
* Track last seen timestamps
* Monitor agent health status

**Agent Updates**: The endpoint agent automatically updates with new policies and detection capabilities.

**Unenrollment**: Remove devices that are no longer in use or when team members leave.

## Best Practices

**Universal Deployment**: Require all team members to enroll their devices, including contractors and part-time staff.

**Onboarding Integration**: Include endpoint agent installation in employee onboarding checklists.

**BYOD Policies**: For teams using personal devices, define minimum security requirements and verify compliance via endpoint monitoring.
