Affected Products:

Dell Threat Defense

The base configuration for the Dell Threat Defense console automatically updates devices to the latest version. A Threat Defense Administrator can optionally deploy builds to test and pilot zones before production.

From a web browser, go to the Dell Threat Defense administration console at:
- North America: https://dellthreatdefense.cylance.com
- Europe: https://dellthreatdefense-eu.cylance.com
- Asia Pacific: https://dellthreatdefense-au.cylance.com
Log in to the Dell Threat Defense administration console.
In the console, click the Settings tab.
Under Settings, click Agent Update.
The Production zone is set to Auto-Update by default. It can be changed to a specific agent version or set to Do Not Update. By default, Test and Pilot zones cannot be configured if Production is set for Auto-Update. To enable the option for Test and Pilot zones, change Auto-Update to a specific version or Do Not Update.

Note: The builds may differ from the pictured example.
Select at least one Test zone and the build version from the drop-down lists.
Note:
- A zone must be created before setting up a Test or Pilot group. Reference the Add Zone portion of How to Manage Zones in Dell Threat Defense for more information.
- The zones and builds may differ from the pictured example.
Select at least one Pilot zone and the build version from the drop-down lists.
Note:
- A Test zone and Pilot zone are independent of each other. You can either create one, both, or none of them.
- The zones and builds may differ from the pictured example.
Once updates are configured, click Apply.
Note: Devices check for updates over update.cylance.com on port 443. If an update is available, the build is downloaded over download.cylance.com on port 443.
