Datto EDR and Datto AV Integration

NAVIGATION   Modules > Integrations > Datto EDR/AV

Configuring the integration

The VSA 10 integration with Datto EDR/AV must first be enabled from the Datto EDR portal. Refer to In Datto EDR in the Datto EDR Help system.

With the integration active, your VSA 10 organizations and sites will be automatically synchronized with Datto EDR. Any endpoints protected by the Endpoint Security agent will be synced as devices and assigned to their corresponding locations.

Following the initial sync, Datto EDR will continue to check in with VSA 10 every four hours and continue to replicate any new changes to organizations, locations, and devices it discovers. The X icon will precede the names of all entities synced from VSA 10.

Accessing the integration from VSA 10

From the left navigation menu in VSA 10, navigate to Integrations > Datto EDR/AV.

Datto EDR/AV Windows Agent deployment

  2. Select the organization, site, or group to which you want to assign the Datto EDR/AV Deployment policy.
  3. Click the Policies tab, and then click Edit.
  4. In the Ransomware Detection\EDR Policy section, assign the Datto EDR/AV Deployment policy and save changes.
  5. Datto EDR/AV Windows agents will be deployed and registered to all targeted devices.

NOTE  You cannot assign a Ransomware Detection policy and a Datto EDR/AV policy to the same device.

NOTE  Linux and macOS agent deployment will be supported in future version of the integration.

NOTE  Only admin users will have the ability to deploy Datto EDR through VSA 10.

NOTE  Removing the Datto EDR/AV policy will not remove the Datto EDR/AV agent from the endpoints.
