Managing Kaspersky Endpoint Agent using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console
This section provides information related to Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows. Information related to Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux is provided in a separate section.
You can centrally manage several protected devices with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent installed, that are included in the administration group, by means of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent Management web plug-in. Kaspersky Security Center Web Console also lets you separately configure the operation settings of each protected device in the administration group.
An administration group is created manually in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console and includes several devices with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent installed, for which the same control and protection settings can be configured. For details on using administration groups, see Kaspersky Security Center Help.
Application settings for an individual protected device cannot be configured if Kaspersky Endpoint Agent operation on this protected device is controlled by an active Kaspersky Security Center policy.
Kaspersky Endpoint Agent can be managed from Kaspersky Security Center Web Console in the following ways:
Using Kaspersky Security Center policies. Kaspersky Security Center policies can be used to remotely configure the same protection settings for a group of devices. Task settings specified in the active policy have priority over task settings configured locally in the Application Console or remotely in the device properties window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
You can use policies to configure general application settings, Real-Time Protection task settings, Local Activity Control tasks settings, and scheduled system task start settings.
Using Kaspersky Security Center group tasks. Kaspersky Security Center group tasks allow remote configuration of common settings of tasks with a limited execution period for a group of devices.
You can use group tasks to activate the application, configure On-Demand Scan task settings, update task settings, and Rule Generator for Applications Launch Control task settings.
Using tasks for a set of devices. Tasks for a set of devices allow remote configuration of common settings of tasks with a limited execution period for protected devices that do not belong to any administration group.
Using the properties window of a single device. In the device properties window, you can remotely configure the task settings for a single protected device included in the administration group. You can configure both general application settings and the settings of all Kaspersky Endpoint Agent tasks if the selected protected device is not controlled by an active Kaspersky Security Center policy.
Kaspersky Security Center Web Console makes it possible to configure application settings and advanced features, and lets you work with logs and notifications. You can configure these settings for a group of protected devices as well as for an individual protected device.
Google Chrome for Windows is required to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Agent using Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
