Integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response

Integration between Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response (MDR) enables continuous search, detection and elimination of threats aimed at your organization.

When interacting with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, Kaspersky Endpoint Security can carry out the following functions:

• Send telemetry data to Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response for threat detection.
• Execute Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response commands for providing security features.

To configure integration between Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, perform the following actions:

• Make sure File Threat Protection and Behavior Detection tasks have started. Otherwise, the computer's status will be red in Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response. We also recommend to start Web Threat Protection and Network Threat Protection tasks. Otherwise, the computer's status will be red in Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response. See the online help for Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response to learn more about statuses.
• Enable use of Kaspersky Security Network and send statistics.

  You can enable use of Kaspersky Security Network via the command line, in the Administration Console, or in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

• Configure Kaspersky Private Security Network for sending telemetry using a Kaspersky Security Network configuration file located in the ZIP archive of the MDR configuration file.

  You can configure Private KSN only in the Administration Console or in the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

• Enable integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response and upload a BLOB configuration file, which is located in the ZIP archive of the MDR configuration file.

  It is recommended to configure integration between Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response in the Administration Console or in the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

You can also configure integration between Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response and upload a BLOB configuration file from the command line.

To enable integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, execute the following command:

kesl-control --set-app-settings UseMDR=Yes

To disable integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, execute the following command:

kesl-control --set-app-settings UseMDR=No

To load the BLOB configuration file, execute the following command:

kesl-control --load-mdr-blob <path to MDR BLOB configuration file>

To remove the BLOB configuration file, execute the following command:

kesl-control --remove-mdr-blob

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is integrated with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, a large number of events can be written to the systemd log. If you want to disable the logging of audit events to the systemd log, disable the systemd-journald-audit socket and restart the operating system.

To disable the systemd-journald-audit socket, run the following commands:

systemctl stop systemd-journald-audit.socket

systemctl disable systemd-journald-audit.socket

systemctl mask systemd-journald-audit.socket
