Desktop Experience

The Aikido Device Protection agent runs silently in the background. For most installs, nothing happens and the package installs as normal. You only see a notification when something is blocked.

Dashboard

You can access the Device Protection Dashboard by clicking on the Aikido icon in your taskbar and selecting "Open Dashboard"

The dashboard will show any recent events like Malware or Policy blocks. The Logs tab has additional information about package age restriction blocks.

You can click on each item for more information.

Notifications / Events

Notifications will show up whenever a package contains malware or is blocked by your policy.

Types of notifications:

• Malware means the package has been identified as malicious. This block is final and cannot be appealed.
• Policy means your organization has restricted installs from this ecosystem or blocked this specific package.

You can Dismiss the notification or click Open Dashboard to view more details in the Aikido app.

Event details

The events page shows you the details of a package, when it was blocked and the reason. With policy blocks you sometimes have the option to Request Access. This allows you to send a request to your workspace admins for an exception.

Once a package has been approved or denied you will see a message within your dashboard with the result.
