About the Feature

Endpoint auto-update is a feature that lets a network server push a Forcepoint DLP Endpoint installation package to endpoint machines and silently install the package in the background. By doing so, the network server controls the version of the endpoint running on endpoint machines.

The endpoint auto-update feature does not support the initial deployment of the agent — it only supports existing agents. In addition, auto-update:

Does not apply to Linux or Mac endpoint machines. It works only with Windows endpoint machines.
Does not apply to updating the Forcepoint Web Security Endpoint. Only Forcepoint DLP Endpoint can be updated through the auto-update server.

Note: Starting with Forcepoint DLP v8.6, Forcepoint DLP Endpoint on the Forcepoint F1E platform became the standard Forcepoint Endpoint agent for Forcepoint DLP and Forcepoint Dynamic Data Protection.
