Overview
Sentriant AG protects the network by ensuring that endpoints are free from threats and in compliance
with the organization's IT security standards. Sentriant AG systematically tests endpoints—with or
without the use of a client or agent—for compliance with organizational security policies, quarantining
non-compliant machines before they damage the network.
Sentriant AG ensures that the applications and services running on endpoints (such as LAN, RAS, VPN,
and WiFi endpoints) are up-to-date and free of worms, viruses, trojans, P2P and other potentially
damaging software. It dramatically reduces the cost and effort of securing your network's weakest
links—the endpoints your IT group might not adequately control.
There are advantages and disadvantages inherent with each of the test method technologies. Having a
choice of testing solutions enables you to maximize the advantages and minimize the disadvantages.
NOTE
Agentless testing uses an existing Windows service (RPC). ActiveX testing uses an ActiveX control.

agent testing installs an agent (Sentriant AG Agent) and runs as a new Windows service.
