Install Nightfall AI Agent for Windows OS
Nightfall for Windows OS allows you to detect exfiltration events on your Windows OS devices. The Nightfall exfiltration feature can monitor any files being uploaded through supported cloud storage apps or browsers on Windows OS devices.
To use Nightfall for macOS, you must install the Nightfall AI agent. This agent monitors your Windows OS device continuously. You can install the agent either manually or through a Mobile device management (MDM) tool. You can request the Nightfall deployment bundle which contains the data required for your MDM deployment.
At this time the Nightfall AI Endpoint Agent does not support the ARM processor architecture. However, ARM compatibility is being prioritized in a future release.
If you manage Chrome extensions via Google Workspace Admin Console
Before deploying the Nightfall Agent, you must configure Chrome's PolicyMergeList setting in your Google Admin Console. Without this, the Nightfall extension's machine-level Chrome policy will override your existing Google Workspace-managed extensions, causing them to disappear from users' browsers.
To configure PolicyMergeList:
Go to Admin Console → Devices → Chrome → Settings
Search for PolicyMergeList
Select the Organizational Unit that covers your managed devices
In the Configuration field, enter
*to allow all supported policies to be merged across sourcesClick Save
To verify, open Chrome on an affected machine and navigate to
chrome://policy. TheExtensionInstallForcelistpolicy should show Source: MergedPolicy changes can take up to 30 minutes to propagate. You can force a refresh by clicking Reload policies in
chrome://policy.
Not sure if this applies to you? If your IT team uses Google Workspace (Google Admin Console) to manage which Chrome extensions are force-installed on employee machines, this applies to you.
