   • If needed, set up the dsRequester server as per the provided requirements.

2. Firewall Rules and dsRequester Server Ready:

   • Ensure all necessary FW rules are configured.

   • Confirm the readiness of the dsRequester server.

3. GYTPOL Client Sensor Deployment:

   • Deploy the GYTPOL client Sensor on a group of devices, adhering to licensing limitations.

   • Use any deployment tool (SCCM, BigFix, GPO) for deploying the new clientSensor.

4. Scanning and Data Submission:

   • After deployment, initiate device scansthe device is scanned for the first time.

   • Data collected during scans the scan is transmitted to GYTPOL cloud.

5. Metrics Display in UI:

   • View and analyze metrics in the GYTPOL UI.

6. Full Functionality and Remediation:

Existing On-Prem Customers, migrating to SaaS

Deployment of New Client Sensor and Transition to SaaS:

1. New Client Sensor Deployment:

   • GYTPOL will provide an updated client Sensor (higher version).

   • The new client Sensor will automatically update the existing installation, recreate configuration files, and redirect data to GYTPOL SaaS.

2. Deployment Methods:

   • Use any deployment tool (SCCM, BigFix, GPO) or leverage GYTPOL's Auto-Update mechanism for deploying the new clientSensor.

3. Data Submission to GYTPOL SaaS:

   • After deployment, scanned device data is sent to GYTPOL SaaS instead of the local server.

4. Metrics in UI:

   • View and analyze metrics in the GYTPOL SaaS UI.

5. Dual Visibility:

   • The updated device will report to the new GYTPOL SaaS.

   • It will remain visible in the old server for an additional 14 days (if GYTPOL's auto-update is used).

6. Important Note on Migration:

   • Data migration is not possible.

   • Remediation tasks, Mutes, Roles, and Permissions must be recreated in the new UI.

This process facilitates a smooth transition to the updated GYTPOL SaaS environment, ensuring continued visibility of devices during the transition period.
