Migration from Kaspersky Endpoint Agent

Kaspersky Endpoint Security version 11 and later supports the MDR solution. Kaspersky Endpoint Security versions 11 – 11.5.0 only sends telemetry data to Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response to enable threat detection. Kaspersky Endpoint Security version 11.6.0 has all the functionality of the built-in agent (Kaspersky Endpoint Agent).

If you are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 – 11.5.0, you must update databases to the latest version to work with the MDR solution. You must also install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

If you are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11.6.0 or later, to work with the MDR solution, you must select the Managed Detection and Response component when installing the application. In this case, you do not need to install Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.

To migrate from Kaspersky Endpoint Agent to Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows:

  1. Configure integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy.
  2. Disable the Managed Detection and Response component in the Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy.

If the Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy also applies to computers that do not have Kaspersky Endpoint Security 11 – 11.5.0 installed, you must first create a separate Kaspersky Endpoint Agent policy for those computers. In the new policy, configure integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response.
