I’m Afraid the Lumu Agent will have a Negative Impact on the performance of my organization’s devices, what should I do?
The Lumu Agent is an extremely lightweight application and it will put very little load on the end user’s device as it doesn’t require much processing power to function.
Remember that installing the Lumu Agent is a simple and straightforward process, and it can be done in a completely transparent manner without any interaction from the device’s end user.
Installation via the most common RMM tools is also supported which should simplify the installation process even further for larger organizations.
Should I be worried about negative interactions between the Lumu Agent and other solutions installed on my device?
No, our technical specialists have done extensive testing with Lumu and other products in the cybersecurity industry to see whether there was any impact in the performance of each tool. Based on our results, there shouldn’t be any reason to worry as there hasn’t been any evidence of negative interactions between Lumu and other solutions.
If for any reason this is still a worry, the Lumu VA would be an alternative way to gain visibility on the devices of your workforce without putting any load on each individual device; however, the Lumu Agent is still the only data collection option that offers direct visibility into all of the device’s traffic.
We strongly advise installing the Lumu Agent to ensure the highest level of continuous compromise assessment on your remote perimeter’s devices.
