# Agent Deployment

These guides will give you step by step instructions to install different agents onto your devices.

**CybaOps Asset Manager** is the central platform for downloading agents and managing assets.

The **Unique Activation Code** provided under deploy agent must be copied exactly as shown.

**Administrator roles/permissions** are required for system level access to install and register the agent.

If you have any issues and the **troubleshooting** section does not answer these, you can reach out to **<support@cybaops.help>**

### <mark style="color:$primary;">CybaAgent</mark>

The CybaAgent is a custom agent, integrating with Osquery for asset visibility and maintaining a secure WebSocket connection for real time command execution and data synchronisation. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. It checks for updates every 12 hours with hash verification before installation and has rotating logs (up to 5 versions) stored in install or temp directories.

The CybaAgent gives complete visibility of your environment so you always know exactly what assets you have, where they are, and how they're configured. It gives better context on vulnerabilities - in CybaOps, vulnerabilities are linked to assets making it easy to see the impact they're having on your network. Knowing exactly which assets are impacted is essential for prioritising remediation and securing your infrastructure.&#x20;

### <mark style="color:$primary;">Qualys Agent</mark>

The Qualys Agent links your devices to Qualys, regularly scanning it for vulnerabilities and pulling them through to your vulnerability manager which consolidates the information and allows you to see all assets affected by individual vulnerabilties in the platform.

The agent works in the background to detect changes, identify risks quickly, and help maintain an up to date security posture across all their assets. Qualys executes scans every four hours based on when it was installed on the asset. CybaOps updates every 24 - you can bump your scan in the schedule on the platform as required to have the most up to date information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cybaops.com/getting-started/onboarding/agent-deployment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
