Overview

The Toolbox is a self service tool accessing a combination of services that allows customers to remotely manage services on one or multiple Virtual Machines on an account. Below are how to steps for using the toolbox as well as descriptions of the services you can manage with the toolbox.

Users looking to deploy services at scale can use the Toolbox to schedule tasks for a fleet of assets in their environment.

How to Schedule a Task

Users can access the Toolbox in the Armor Management Portal (AMP) on the Toolbox screen. The Toolbox screen is in the Infrastructure section of AMP. For more information on the Toolbox screen, click here. Once a task has been scheduled, the page will list all pending and completed tasks. The Schedule Task button will be available at the top of the screen.

Asynchronous Security API Calls

...

Users may want to configure security services asynchronously so that security services can be activated without immediately triggering feedback. For some commands, users can use the flag async=true to queue these features as needed. The command async=true works for both Windows and Linux and should be placed at the end of the command line as shows in the example below:

Code Block
themeMidnight
Windows: C:\.armor\opt\armor.exe av on async=true
Linux: /opt/armor/armor av on async=true

The async flag can also be configured in the Armor Toolbox.


Review Task Results

...

Users can review the results of tasks run through the Armor Toolbox using the CLI Results tab of the Virtual Machines screen.


Security Services

Below are the Armor Security Services you can manage from the Armor Toolbox. Several operations can be run asynchronously to prevent immediate API feedback. For more information on the Async Flag, please see the documentation above.


Trend

...

Trend is the parent sub-agent for all Trend modules, including Malware Protection, File Integrity Monitoring, and Intrusion Prevention.

One of the features available in Agent 3.0 is Recommendation scans. Recommendation scans provide a good starting point for establishing a list of rules that you should implement. During a recommendation scan, the Armor Agent scans the operating system for installed applications, the Windows registry, open ports, and more.

In order to use Malware Protection, File Integrity Monitoring, and Intrusion Prevention, please install the Trend Sub-Agent. To take advantage of Recommendation scans, turn on Ongoing Recommendation scans in the Toolbox.

Malware Protection

...

The Armor Malware Protection service protects your Virtual Machines against file-based threats such as malware, viruses, and more.

To use this feature, select the Malware Protection product in the Toolbox and choose the "on" operation.

OperationDescriptionAsync Flag
av onTurn anti-malware protection onYes
av offTurn anti-malware protection offYes.
av statusReports status of module from subagent


File Integrity Monitoring

...

The Armor File Integrity Monitoring service detects changes to files and critical system areas (e.g. Windows registry) that could indicate suspicious activity. If you have enabled Recommendation scans (Trend sub-agent), you can run Recommendation scans with FIM to identify a list of rules that should be applied based on the configuration of your Virtual Machine. You can also choose to have the recommended rules automatically applied to your machine.

To use this feature, select the FIM product in the Toolbox and choose the "on" operation. To use this feature with Recommendation scans, select the FIM product in the Toolbox and choose the "auto-apply-recommendations-on" operation.

Intrusion Prevention System

...

The Armor Intrusion Prevention System service detects or prevents known and zero-day vulnerabilities (e.g. SQL injections attacks, cross-site scripting attacks, etc). Customers can use IPS in prevent or detect mode, depending on whether you want traffic to be blocked or not. If you have enabled Recommendation scans (Trend sub-agent), you can run Recommendation scans with IPS to identify a list of rules that should be applied based on the configuration of your Virtual Machine. You can also choose to have the recommended rules automatically applied to your machine.

To use this feature, select the IPS product in the Toolbox and choose the "prevent" or "detect" operation. To use this feature with Recommendation scans, select the IPS product (prevent or detect mode) in the Toolbox and choose the "auto-apply-recommendations-on" operation.
