Cylance PROTECT

What is it?

Cylance PROTECT is an AI-driven antivirus solution focused on preventing threats before they execute.

Who is it available to?

It is available for Windows, MacOS and Ubuntu. It is not available for Fedora.

Additionally, downloading Cylance PROTECT will only appear as a step when adding a computer for organizations that have Mycroft Antivirus & Endpoint Protectors enabled within computers settings.

Note: Administrators cannot see any data Cylance products are tracking, only that it is installed.

What it tracks:

• Malware and ransomware

• Suspicious files and behaviors

• Fileless threats (e.g., memory-based attacks)

• Identity-related anomalies

• User behaviour patterns

• Threat signatures and variations

What admins can see:

• Whether Cylance PROTECT is installed and running

Performance concerns:

Designed to run silently in the background. Minimal system impact even during real-time scanning.
