It displays an overview of the status of clients on your network and enables you to deploy ESET solutions to unmanaged computers remotely. After installing ESET PROTECT Server, you can access the Web Console using your web browser. If you choose to make the web server available via the internet, you can use ESET PROTECT On-Prem from any place or device with an internet connection. You can install the ESET PROTECT Web Console on a different computer than the computer running the ESET PROTECT Server.
