Inventory mode creates the inventory that contains information about the executable and script files present on the endpoint. The information includes complete file name, file size, SHA-1, SHA-256, file reputation, file type, embedded application name, certificate details, and version.
Inventory mode tracks and records each change made to an endpoint’s inventory. Also, it dynamically updates the inventory to make sure that the changed or added binaries and files are included in the inventory.
In Inventory mode, initial solidification process is needed to create the inventory that is sent to the ePO - SaaS server.
Important
When an endpoint is in Inventory Mode, Application Control is not protecting your system. It does not prevent the execution of not allowed scripts. Only error, status transition, and pull inventory events are generated and sent to the ePO - SaaS server.
