Installing a Server and external sensors

You can use from 2 to 33 computers for installing the Server and external sensors. The Server is installed on one of the computers. The sensors are installed on the other computers. These sensors will receive traffic from their respective segments of the industrial network.

After the application is installed, you must add monitoring points on all computers that have sensors installed. If the computer hosting the Server has a network interface connected to the industrial network, you can also add a monitoring point to this network interface.

If the computer has multiple network interfaces that receive traffic from different segments of the industrial network, you will have to add a monitoring point to each of these interfaces. However, you need to adhere to the limits on the maximum number of monitoring points:

• No more than 8 monitoring points on a sensor
• No more than 4 monitoring points on the Server
• No more than 32 monitoring points in the application

The example in the figure below shows deployment of the Server and three sensors. The network interfaces of computers that perform sensor functions are connected to the SPAN ports of network switches (SPAN ports and connections are marked in yellow) and receive a copy of traffic from their respective segments of the industrial network. The dedicated Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity network is designated by green lines.
