STEP 1: Quick Start Deployment Guide

ACCESSING YOUR CLOUD CONSOLE

The first step in getting your Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection deployed is

accessing the new Malwarebytes Cloud Console.

If you were using the Trial Version before you bought the licenses, you already
have your My Account set up and you can skip Steps 1 and 2 and go straight to
Steps 3, 4, and 5.

Please follow these four steps to set up your Cloud Console

1. You should have received an email from no-

reply@cloud.malwarebytes.com inviting you to the Malwarebytes Cloud
Console. The ‘Verify’ link in the invitation expires 14 days after the email
is sent.If you didn’t receive the email or the ‘Verify’ link has expired,
please contact our Support Team at 1-888-688-5431 and they will reset
your link. Please make sure you have access to the link before you
proceed.

2. After you’ve clicked ‘Verify’, the account verification process takes you to
the ‘Create Your Account’ page, shown here. You will need to fill in your
full name, create your password, and then accept the terms of the End
User License Agreement. Once you’ve completed the required
information, click ‘Submit’ to continue.
 3. You’re now through to the login screen for the Malwarebytes Cloud
Console where you’ll enter your email address and the Password you just
created in Step 2. You’ll be taken to this page each time you log in to the
Cloud Console.

4. When you log in, you’re taken straight into your dashboard for the
Management Console. Your dashboard menu is in the blue bar on the left
side and you’ll notice that most of the information in the dashboard is
monitoring your endpoints. Your dashboard is empty at this point, but will
start showing data after you begin registering endpoints later in the setup.

In the main menu on the left, the Endpoints, Detections, Quarantine, Reports,
and Tasks options will show you information about your registered endpoints,
the threats that get detected, and reports based on the options you define.
Settings is at the bottom of the menu and contains a dropdown menu where
you can select Policies, Schedules, Exclusions, Groups, and Users.

5. Console administrators are referred to as ‘Users’ in the Malwarebytes

Cloud Console and it’s easy to add them. When you’re setting up My
Account and the Cloud Console, you are the only user of the console. If
you’re going to share responsibility for administration of your Cloud
Console with other people in your organization, you simply go to ‘Settings’
in the left hand menu, select ‘New’ near the upper right corner of the page
and fill in the required details. The users you’ve added will get then get an
email similar to the one you first received and they’ll follow the same
procedure to set up their log in.
You’ve now set up your Malwarebytes Cloud Console, created your account,
logged in, added additional console administrators (users), and familiarized
yourself with the menu bar and the components of the dashboard.

Now that you’ve completed Step 1 of your Malwarebytes Quick Start

Deployment Guide, you’re ready to move to Step 2 and start exploring ‘My
Account’ and customizing your notification settings the way you want them.

STEP 2: Quick Start Deployment Guide

CUSTOMIZING YOUR
NOTIFICATION SETTINGS

In Step 1 you set up your ‘My Account’ and accessed the Malwarebytes
Management Console where you can manage and monitor the endpoints in
your network.

In Step 2 we’ll take you back into ‘My Account’ and show you how to
customize your notification settings.

To access ‘My Account’ click your name from the top right-hand corner of the
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection console and then click ‘My Account’. Then
log in with the email address and password you set up in Step 1.

The Profile section of Malwarebytes My Account enables you to view and edit
key information related to your company's account directly from within the
Cloud Console. If you ever need to change your Display Name or change your
password, you'll do it from My Account.
My Account enables you to customize which types of notifications you want
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection to send you. These notifications are a
powerful tool for monitoring your endpoints, so it’s important that you define
the notifications you’ll find most useful.

There’s a section in My Account called ‘Remote Assistance’. If you ever need

help from our talented Support team, this feature enables you to give them
access to Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection and they can remotely provide
assistance.

License Information lets you see how many Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection
License Information lets you see how many Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection
licenses you bought, easily monitor how many of those licenses have been
deployed on your network, and you can check the expiration date for your
license subscription.

You should be getting more familiar with My Account and this step should help
you better understand the types of notifications you can set up to help you
manage your company’s threat protection with Malwarebytes Endpoint
Protection.

You’ve now completed Steps 1 and 2 of your Malwarebytes Quick Start

Deployment Guide and you’re ready to move to the next step. Step 3 walks you
through the process of preparing your network environment for deployment.

PREPARING YOUR NETWORK

ENVIRONMENT

You’ve now completed Steps 1 and 2 of your Malwarebytes Quick Start

Deployment Guide and you’re ready to move a step closer to your deployment.
Step 3 walks you through the preparation of your network environment.

The hardware and operating system requirements for the agent installation of
Malwarebytes Endpoint Protection on your endpoint are in the Malwarebytes
Administrators Guide. To help expedite your deployment, we’ve included it in
this Quick-Start Deployment Plan here.

If your company’s internet access is protected by a firewall or you have other

access limitations, please note that you’ll need to allow access to port 443 for
all of the Malwarebytes services listed here. You can get this information at any
time from the Malwarebytes Administrators Guide, which can be reached under
Settings in the menu of your Cloud Console.

You’re now ready to move on to Step 4 and configure the Policy Settings that
will work best for you and your end users.

CONFIGURING POLICY SETTINGS

We are now ready to configure your policy settings. Policies are vitally
important because they allow the administrator to control individual layers of
protection based on operating system, as well as allowing you to restrict and
manage what end users are able to do themselves in terms of their threat
protection. Policies are also applied to specified endpoint groups, further
enhancing your ability to manage various groups according to their needs.

Endpoint Interface Options – These settings enable you to control the tray
icon and the tasks that your end users are able to perform.

OS Specific Settings – These setting enable you to configure the

individual settings based on operating system. OS Specific Settings
include machine reboot options, update frequency, scan options, start-up
options, real-time protection settings, and various other settings that let
you administrate your protection more effectively.
Once your policies have been customized and configured based on your
preferred settings, you are ready to proceed with your deployment.

You’re now ready to move on to the final step - Step 5 of the Quick Start
Deployment Guide and choose the deployment method that will work best for
you.

STEP 5: Quick Start Deployment Guide

CHOOSING YOUR
DEPLOYMENT METHOD

We’re now on the final step to prepare you for deployment of Malwarebytes
Endpoint Protection for your company.

The preferred installation method for most of our customers is the Malwarebytes
Discovery and Deployment Tool. This handy utility automatically identifies
endpoints on your network and then distributes the Malwarebytes Endpoint
Protection agent out to those endpoints. The Discovery and Deployment Tool
can utilize either Active Directory or IP address. This deployment method is
useful when deploying a larger number of endpoints and when you want to
minimize any interaction required from the users on your endpoints.

The other option is to use our MSI installer. This deployment method is
used by larger companies who have a 3rd-party tool for deploying
licenses across their networks.
The last option is completely manual and requires the user of each
endpoint to first download the executable file directly on to the endpoint.
If you choose this option, we recommend putting the executable file on a
shared network where they can easily download it.

Once you decide on the deployment method that suits you best, you can go to
the Cloud Console menu and select Endpoints. You’ll then see the options for
deployment.
We hope this Quick-Start Deployment Guide has been helpful for getting your
Malwarebytyes Endpoint Protection set up and deployed. If you have any issues,
please don’t hesitate to contact our Support Team and we’ll work with you to
get you set up and protected.
