Limitations for scenarios of integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum

• If Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent (klnagent), version 10.5 to 12.1, is installed, scenarios of integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are supported, with the following limitations:
  • Information about the threat development chain is not passed to the network list.
  • Information about the task execution results is not sent to Kaspersky Security Center.
• If klnagent 12.1 or later is installed, all scenarios of integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum are supported without limitations.
• One of the following browsers is required to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Agent using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console:
  • Google Chrome for Windows
