About Kaspersky Security Center Web Console

Kaspersky Security Center 14 Web Console (hereinafter also referred to as Kaspersky Security Center Web Console) is a web application designed to manage the status of the security system of a network protected by Kaspersky applications.

Using the application, you can do the following:

• Manage the status of the organization's security system.
• Install Kaspersky applications on devices on your network and manage installed applications.
• Manage policies created for devices on your network.
• Manage user accounts.
• Manage tasks for applications installed on your network devices.
• View reports on the security system status.
• Manage the delivery of reports to system administrators and other IT experts.

Kaspersky Security Center Web Console provides a web interface that ensures interaction between your device and Administration Server over a browser. Administration Server is an application designed for managing Kaspersky applications installed on your network devices. Administration Server connects to devices on your network over channels protected with Secure Socket Layer (SSL). When you connect to Kaspersky Security Center Web Console by using your browser, the browser establishes a connection with Kaspersky Security Center Web Console Server.

You operate Kaspersky Security Center Web Console as follows:

1. Use a browser to connect to Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, where the web portal interface is displayed.
2. Use web portal controls to choose a command that you want to run. Kaspersky Security Center Web Console performs the following operations:
   • If you select a command used for receiving information (for example, to view a list of devices), Kaspersky Security Center Web Console generates a request for information to Administration Server, receives the necessary data, and sends it to the browser in an easy-to-view format.
   • If you have chosen a command used for management (for example, remote installation of an application), Kaspersky Security Center Web Console receives the command from the browser and sends it to Administration Server. Then the application receives the result from Administration Server and sends it to the browser in an easy-to-view format.

Kaspersky Security Center Web Console is a multi-language application. You can change the interface language at any time, without reopening the application. When you install Kaspersky Security Center Web Console together with Kaspersky Security Center, Kaspersky Security Center Web Console has the same interface language as the installation file. When you install only Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, the application has the same interface language as your operating system. If Kaspersky Security Center Web Console does not support the language of the installation file or operating system, English is set by default.

Mobile Device Management is not supported in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. However, if you added mobile devices to an administration group by using Microsoft Management Console, these devices are also displayed in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
