WAPT exists in two flavors, :ref:`WAPT Discovery and WAPT Enterprise `. **For System Administrators**: * Install software and configurations silently. * Maintain up to date an installed base of software and configurations. * Configure software at the system and user level to reduce the load on support teams. * Remove unwanted or out of cycle software and configurations silently. * Reduce your need for support by your IT teams, whose reaction times are often long because of their workloads. * Reduce as much as possible the consumption of bandwidth on remote sites to preserve it for productive uses. **For IT Security Officers** * Pilot the software installed base to converge to a security standard acceptable to the organization. * Prepare your enterprise for the coming `GDPR `_ and help your DPO keep his register of data processing, because you two will become close colleagues. * No longer tolerate hosts operating in *Administrator* mode. * No longer tolerate users downloading and running software binaries from their home directory. * Start applying :abbr:`SRPs (Software Restriction Policies)`, also known as *Applocker* or :abbr:`WDAC (Windows Defender Application Control)` to improve application level IT security. * Reduce the level of exposure to software vulnerabilities and `lateral movement attacks `_. * Bring up audit indicators for a better knowledge of the state of installed IT devices and their global security level. * Be prompt to deploy updates to react to cyber attacks like `Wannacry `_ or `notPetya `_. **For End-Users** * Have installed software configured to work well in the context of your Organization and trust that they will work correctly. * Give :term:`Users` more autonomy to install software safely and reliably. * Have better working and more predictable professional systems because of standard software configurations. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Presenting WAPT Fundamental principles of WAPT WAPT Editions and Versions history .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: WAPT Quickstart Quickstart - Guides Quickstart - Installing The WAPT Server Quickstart - Installing The WAPT Console Quickstart - Installing The WAPT Agent Quickstart - WADS for Windows Quickstart - WADS for Linux .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: WAPT Server Checking requirements Installing WAPT Server Upgrade WAPT Server Backup WAPT Server Restore WAPT Server WAPT Server APIs WAPT Server Advanced Configuration Enhancing WAPT Server Security - Server side .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: WAPT Console How to install the management WAPT console How to use the WAPT Console WAPT Console advanced mode WAPT Secondary Repo WAPT Self Service WAPTWUA WADS OS deployement WAPT Reporting WAPT Audit Data Enhancing WAPT Server Security - Console side .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: WAPT Agent Deploying the WAPT Agent Updating the WAPT Agent Removing the WAPT Agent WAPT Command Line Interface Advanced WAPT configuration .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Creating WAPT packages wapt-create-packages.rst wapt-package-structure.rst wapt-create-packages-setuphelpers.rst .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Frequent problems and questions FAQ - Guides FAQ - Server Issues FAQ - Console Issues FAQ - Agent Issues FAQ - Packages Issues FAQ - Licences Issues FAQ - System Environnement Issues FAQ - Other Issues .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Appendix Contacting Tranquil It Glossary Presentation of the security principles in WAPT Presentation of cryptographic processes Best pratices for packaging software (Software editors) WAPT release strategy Security bulletin Changelog WAPT End Users Licence Agreement External component licences used in WAPT
