Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)

Issue/Introduction

Is there a mechanism that will allow sensors to be automatically updated when a new version is available?

Environment

  • Carbon Black Cloud (Formerly PSC) Web Console: All Supported Versions
  • Microsoft Windows: All Supported Versions
  • Apple macOS: All Supported Versions

Resolution

No.  Upgrade of Sensors currently requires administrator intervention to manually update Sensors through the console or to use a third party method of deployment such as GPO or SCCM.
