Installing and initially configuring the application using Kaspersky Security Center

You can install Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes on a client device remotely from the administrator's workstation using the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or the Administration Console.

Installation using Kaspersky Security Center involves the following steps:

  1. Creating an installation package.

    The Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes installation package is used for remote installation. The Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes installation package is the same for all supported operating systems and processor architectures. You can create the installation package using the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or the Administration Console.

    You can specify the initial configuration settings of the application (for example, select the operating mode that the application enters immediately after installation) in the properties of the installation package or in the autoinstall.ini configuration file, which is included in the installation package.

    You can add the following to the installation package that you are creating:

    • License key for automatic activation of the application during installation
    • Pre-downloaded application databases to avoid having to update the databases after installation

    You can also activate the application and update the databases later, as part of the getting started procedure.

  2. Deploying Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes on devices in the corporate network.

    Kaspersky Security Center Web Console supports the following main deployment methods:

    • Installing the application using the Protection Deployment Wizard.
    • Installing the application using the remote installation task.

    The Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console supports the following main deployment methods:

    • Installing the application using the Remote Installation Wizard.
    • Installing the application using the remote installation task.

    For a description of the deployment procedures, see the Kaspersky Security Center Help.

    If necessary, you can view the application remote installation log by using remote diagnostics of the Kaspersky Security Center client device.

  3. Getting started.

    Before using the application, you need to complete the initial configuration of the application and prepare the application for operation.

    If initial configuration of the application has not been completed on a device, you cannot use or update the application on that device.

To use Kaspersky Security Center to manage Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes installed on client devices, you need to put these devices in administration groups. Before starting installation of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes, you can create any necessary administration groups in Kaspersky Security Center so that devices with the installed application can be moved to them, and you can configure rules to automatically move the devices to these administration groups. If rules for moving devices to the administration groups are not configured, Kaspersky Security Center moves all the devices that have the Administration Agent installed and are connected to Administration Server to the Unassigned devices list. In this case, you need to manually move computers to the administration groups (refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help for details).
