10. On the Configure CylancePROTECT page, choose a communication mode:

    Online (recommended)

    When online, the CylancePROTECT Agent communicates with Genetec to report new threats, update its agent, and send data to help improve its mathematical models. This option offers the highest level of protection.

    Disconnected

    The disconnected mode is for an appliance without an internet connection. In this mode, CylancePROTECT cannot connect or send information to Genetec management services in the cloud. Your appliance is protected against most threats. Maintenance and updates are available through the Genetec™ Update Service (GUS).

    Turn off

    Select this mode to permanently uninstall CylancePROTECT from your appliance. Your appliance will use Microsoft Defender for threat protection and detection. We do not recommend turning off CylancePROTECT if the appliance cannot receive virus definition updates for Microsoft Defender.

    IMPORTANT: When CylancePROTECT is turned off, you cannot change between Disconnected and Online. To change these settings, you must reset the software image on your appliance.
