Bypass Option

Cybersecurity tools often face resistance from the end users for different reasons. This push-back is one of the main reasons for an incorrect cyber-posture. DefensX has bypass protection function to minimize the initial friction after the deployment with the end users. If you enable this option for a deployment group or a specific agent, end user(s) will have a chance to bypass DefensX protection for 5 minutes.
