Tencent IOA (Internet of Agents) controls the installation of specified software on terminals through a centralized management system. This system allows administrators to define policies that specify which software is permitted or denied on the terminals. Here's how it works:
Policy Definition: Administrators create software installation policies that outline the allowed or blocked software applications. These policies can be based on various criteria such as software name, version, publisher, or even specific features within the software.
Policy Enforcement: Once the policies are defined, Tencent IOA enforces them on all managed terminals. This is typically done through a client-agent installed on each terminal, which communicates with the IOA server to ensure compliance with the policies.
Real-time Monitoring: Tencent IOA continuously monitors the terminals to detect any unauthorized software installations or changes to the installed software. If a violation is detected, the system can take actions such as alerting the administrator, blocking the installation, or even remotely removing the unauthorized software.
User Access Control: IOA can also integrate with user authentication and authorization systems to ensure that only authorized users can install or modify software on the terminals.
Example: An organization wants to ensure that all its employees' computers only have Microsoft Office installed and no other office suites. The administrator would create a policy in Tencent IOA that allows Microsoft Office and blocks all other office-related software. The IOA client on each employee's computer would enforce this policy, preventing any unauthorized office suite installations.
For organizations looking to implement such centralized software management, Tencent Cloud offers services like Tencent Cloud Management Console, which provides comprehensive endpoint management capabilities, including software installation control, to help organizations maintain a secure and compliant IT environment.
