CrowdStrike Software Installation Instructions
ULM recently purchased CrowdStrike, an endpoint protection software application, via
a wide scale security effort of the State of Louisiana’s ESF-17 Cyber Task Force.
CrowdStrike is very effective in protecting your system from malware, viruses, ransomware
and many other types of malicious attacks. We have deployed this application to most
of the campus systems, excluding laptops.
Since laptops are not always powered on, we need your help in installing CrowdStrike
on your laptop. Please follow the instructions below to install CrowdStrike on your
laptop as soon as possible.
Installation Instructions
- You need to be on campus or connected to our Open VPN portal to access the link below.
- Click the link below and download all three files in the same folder.
- Go to that folder and run the WinSilentInstall.bat file (double click this file). This install will only take seconds to complete, and
it does not require a reboot.
- For more information, please take a look at the following document: CrowdStrike_Detailed_Installation_Instructions.PDF
NOTE: ULM requires this software application to be installed on all university owned devices.
It is extremely effective at preventing ransomware attacks.
If you have any questions or issues with the installation, please send an email to oit@ulm.edu and let us know. Someone from our office will immediately contact you and provide
assistance.
Thank you.
