Agentless deployment is a method of deploying and managing software or security tools without installing additional agents on target devices. Instead of relying on locally installed software, it uses existing protocols, APIs, or services—such as WMI, SSH, or cloud-native integrations—to monitor, configure, and secure systems.
This approach reduces complexity and overhead by removing the need to manage agent installations and updates. It is particularly beneficial in dynamic environments like cloud platforms or large-scale networks, where rapid onboarding and minimal disruption are key.
Devolutions PAM can leverage agentless techniques in certain workflows, such as remote credential injection and access logging, to simplify implementation and maintain tight security control without adding software to every managed endpoint.
