The DeepSurface user managed scan replaces the need for installed agents or authenticated scans of hosts in your environment. This method uses existing IT management tools, such as Tanium Deploy, MECM (Microsoft Intune), BigFix, Ivanti, and even Windows Group Policy. The DeepSurface scan script is configured within those platforms to run on selected hosts using the script downloaded from your DeepSurface Console. To configure a User Managed Deployment, start by entering the DeepSurface console's FQDN in the initial setting screen, Then configure the agent settings, and copy the deployment string and download the script appropriate to the host operating system, similar to Agent-Based Deployment. User Managed scans can be executed on Windows and Linux hosts only.
The User Managed script itself does the following on each device:
Validates credentials that you provide as command-line arguments (certificate thumbprint and a registration code) when it connects back to the DeepSurface RiskAnalyzer host on port 44305/TCP (same port the agent uses).
Downloads an executable binary to a local cache directory. If the system already has an up-to-date executable in the cache, it doesn't bother downloading it again.
Runs the executable to register the device (if needed) and immediately runs a data collection "scan".
Sends the collected scan data back to the DeepSurface console.
The DeepSurface Main Console and Subordinate Scanners communicate with the user managed scanned hosts in the same way an Agent-Based Deployment does on the standard secure network protocols.
It is possible to run the downloaded script manually as well, however doing so is labor intensive and is not recommended.
