  - Introduction
    An overview of Arc.
    - Arc overview
      Arc™ is a host-based sensor that detects and defends against malicious or compromised endpoints, and insider attacks. You can use Arc sensors to aggregate data for analysis and reports, either on-premises, or in the Vantage cloud.
    - Architecture
      It is important to understand the different architecture possibilities that are available with Arc.
    - Arc in Vantage
      The Sensors page shows all the Arc sensors in the network. It also lets you connect an Arc sensor.
    - Arc in Guardian
      The Arc button in the Guardian Web UI lets you access the different pages for Arc.
    - Arc in CMC
      The Arc button in the Central Management Console (CMC) Web UI lets you access the different pages for Arc.
    - Viewing data from Arc
      The data Arc acquires can be viewed in different places, and in different formats.
    - Security measures
      A description of the security measures that Arc uses.
    - Detection information
      The information that Arc detects. The table shows two types of Category: network and asset. When the Category is listed as network, it means that the detection is based on information that has been extracted from the network. When the Category is listed as asset, it means that the detection is based on information that has been extracted from the asset.
  - Requirements
    The machine and network requirements necessary to use Arc.
  - Preparation
    Information on how to import Arc packages, and install a license.
  - Configuration
    Details on how to configure Arc.
  - Deployment
    Information on how to deploy Arc. This includes details for manual and automatic deployments, and deployment through a mobile device management (MDM) system.
  - Execution
    Information on the different modes that you can use with Arc.
  - Troubleshooting
    Troubleshooting procedures to help you solve problems that might occur when you use Arc.
- Arc Embedded
  Arc Embedded TBD.
- Print format documentation
  A list of all the print-format documentation that is available for Arc and Arc Embedded.

Security measures

A description of the security measures that Arc uses.

Management

Admin/root users should manage Arc and should do the:

Install
Uninstall
Execution

Digital signature

Nozomi Networks signs all delivered executable files for Windows and macOS.

Obfuscation

Executable files are subject to obfuscation.

Unidirectional communication

It is not possible for an external host to establish communication to Arc to use it as an attack vector to the machine hosting it.

Communication

Arc uses transport layer security (TLS) 1.2/1.3 communication to the upstream machine.

Data availability

If the communication link between Arc and Vantage/Guardian becomes unavailable, Arc keeps the collected information locally. Once the communication link is available again, the information will be sent. The maximum amount of collected information depends on the resource usage limits that have been set.
