VIPRE Security for Business (aka the VIPRE Cloud Agent) extends enterprise-grade protection to your Android™ devices and Chromebooks, bridging the gap between traditional workstations and the modern, mobile workforce. Designed specifically for the unique architecture of these platforms, the agent provides a lightweight yet powerful defense against over 20,000 known Android-based threats, malicious URLs, and sophisticated phishing attempts. Managed directly from the intuitive VIPRE Cloud console, it offers administrators a centralized view to enforce security policies. By combining real-time scanning with advanced web protection and app anomaly detection, VIPRE ensures that your data remains secure without compromising the performance or productivity of your mobile users.

Install the VIPRE Cloud Agent

The following steps require you to have access to the individual device(s) where you are attempting to install the VIPRE Cloud Agent and to be logged in to your VIPRE Cloud web console.

1. From within the VIPRE Cloud web console, navigate to SETUP > Deploy Agents and scroll down to the Android section
2. Select Download Installer to be linked directly to Google Play
   • If you are on the device you are attempting to install the Agent on, you will be prompted to install the application called VIPRE Security for Business
   • If you are coordinating with someone else who has possession of the device you are attempting to install the Agent on, you can send them the link to Google Play, or have them search for VIPRE Security for Business and install the application

Enroll the Device in VIPRE Cloud

Once the VIPRE Security Agent app is installed on your device, launch the app.

• If you are on the device you are attempting to install the Agent on, scan the QR code shown in the VIPRE Cloud web console to link it to your VIPRE site
• If you are coordinating with someone else who has possession of the device you are attempting to install the Agent on, click (or enter this code instead) underneath the QR code to reveal a 7-digit PIN, which you can then provide to them

Once that is done, just follow the on-screen prompts to complete setup.

Verify Installation and Enrollment

Back in the VIPRE Cloud web console, you can verify your agent status by navigating to MANAGE > Devices.
