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 wapt-concept.rst wapt-enterprise.rst .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: WAPT Quickstart quickstart-wapt-install-server.rst quickstart-wapt-install-console.rst quickstart-wapt-install-agent.rst .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: WAPT Server Checking requirements Installing WAPT Server Upgrade WAPT Server Backup WAPT Server Restore WAPT Server wapt-api.rst wapt-security-configuration-server.rst .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 1 :caption: WAPT Console wapt-configuration.rst 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 wapt-security-configuration-console.rst .. toctree:: :numbered: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: WAPT Agent wapt-deploy-agent.rst 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 wapt-common-problems-and-questions.rst wapt-licence-problems.rst .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :caption: Appendix tranquil-it-contacts.rst wapt-glossary.rst wapt-security-principles.rst wapt-security-cryptographic-processes.rst wapt-software-best-practices.rst wapt-release-strategy.rst wapt-security-bulletin.rst wapt-changelog.rst wapt-license.rst wapt-license-3rd-party.rst
