virtual machines

[User13573508]

Hi Can anyone tell me or point me towards documentation on how Endpoint Security behaves with local virtual machines? I'm trying to determine if a virtualbox VM running linux (ubuntu) will be protected by the AV of the Windows host machine. Thanks Jack

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Windows(ENSTP) and Linux(ENSLTP) have different ENS products as listed below. So if you are using a particular product on the particular OS that will be protected with the ENS product of that operating system. Refer below article for more information.
