Upgrading Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform

You can upgrade Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform from version 4.0 to version 4.1. Upgrading the program involves the following steps:

1. Upgrading the Sandbox component.

   The program does not have a standard upgrade procedure. You must install the component version 4.1.

   After installing the component you need to set the maximum number of simultaneously running virtual machines. The value 48 is used by default.

   When installing the component on a VMware ESXi virtual machine, you must set up a configuration described in Calculations for the Sandbox component section.

2. Upgrading the Central Node component.

   To upgrade the component, you need to run the disk image containing the Central Node and Sensor components.

   You can upgrade the component to version 4.1 only from version 4.0. If you are using an older version, you must upgrade it to 4.0 in the following order: 3.7 → 3.7.1, 3.7.1 → 3.7.2, 3.7.2 → 4.0.

   If you are not using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode and are using a standalone Central Node server, you can upgrade the program on the Central Node server.

   Operation mode in which Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform is used to protect the infrastructure of multiple organizations or branch offices of the same organization simultaneously.

   Two-level hierarchy of servers with Central Node components installed. This hierarchy allocates a primary control server (Primary Central Node (PCN)) and secondary servers (Secondary Central Nodes (SCN)).

   If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode:

   1. You can update the program on the PCN server. After the program upgrade is complete, the PCN server belongs to the same tenant it belonged to before the upgrade.
   2. If you want to update the program on an SCN server, change the role of the server from SCN to standalone Central Node server before performing the update.

      The program is updated on the standalone Central Node server.

      After upgrading the program, you can assign the SCN role to servers and select the tenant to which the SCN server belongs.

   3. After the program update is complete, by default, all users with the Administrator role are granted access to the web interface of the PCN server and all SCN servers.

      If before the program update, each user's access to SCN web interfaces was configured individually, you can configure it again.

      After the program update is complete, by default, all users with the Senior security officer and Security officer roles are granted access to the web interface of the PCN server and all SCN servers.

      If before the program update, each user's access to SCN web interfaces was configured individually, you can configure it again. To do so, in the web interface of the PCN server:

      1. Add the relevant tenants.
      2. Configure the access of user accounts with the Senior security officer and Security officer roles to those tenants and servers.
      3. Delete all SCNs that are temporarily disconnected from the PCN during the update.
      4. Re-connect all relevant SCNs to the PCN.

      The program prompts you to select a tenant for each SCN server.

      User access to SCN web interfaces is configured.

      Perform the program update procedure on the server where you want to update the data.

   Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform may contain user data and other confidential information. The Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform administrator must independently ensure the security of this data when upgrading the program, or in other cases when it may be necessary to permanently delete data. The Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform administrator bears responsibility for access to data stored on program servers.

3. Upgrading the Sensor component installed on a standalone server.

   The program does not have a standard upgrade procedure. You must install the component version 4.1.

4. Upgrading the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent component
   • Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows.
   • Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux.

Special considerations for upgrading Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform from version 4.0 to version 4.1

1. After upgrading Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform to version 4.1, you must add license keys again.
2. Custom widget layouts in the Dashboard section are not preserved after program upgrade.
3. Sensor and Sandbox component data are not preserved.
4. Central Node 4.1 is not compatible with Sensor and Sandbox components of earlier versions.
