Silent Audit is a default endpoint policy that comes pre-configured in the Webroot Management console. It is intended as a testing policy, to be used when deploying and testing the Webroot agent to see how it may impact a system or application. It is designed to report threats and not take action on them, helping administrators identify any unidentified software so allow overrides can be added.

It is not recommended to set this policy as the default policy for a Site. This is because it will not automatically remediate all detected threats and if assigned to a device by mistake can result in an infection. Instead, assign it to a limited number of devices and once the evaluation is complete, change the policy back to the standard for that device type.

To assign the Silent Audit policy to devices:

1. Log into the Webroot management console.
    
2. In the left nav bar, click Entities.
    
3. In the Sites & Groups list, find and click the Site name that contains the devices you want to modify.
    
4. Check the boxes for the devices, then click Change Policy at the top of the screen to open the Change Policy window.
    
5. In the Change Policy window, use the Endpoint Policy to select the policy Silent Audit. 
    
6. Click Change Policy to update the device's policies.
    
7. Policy changes are received and processed during the polling interval assigned to the endpoint policy for that device. You can force devices to check-in when needed or change the polling interval to force devices to check-in more frequently.
