Kaspersky Security Center Linux is designed for centralized execution of basic administration and maintenance tasks on an organization's network. Kaspersky Security Center Linux provides the administrator with access to detailed information about the organization's network security level; Kaspersky Security Center Linux lets an administrator configure all the components of protection based on Kaspersky applications. Kaspersky Security Center Linux performs the following main functions:

• Detecting devices and their users on the organization's network
• Creating a hierarchy of administration groups for device management
• Installing Kaspersky applications on devices
• Managing the settings and tasks of installed applications
• Activating Kaspersky applications on devices
• Managing user accounts
• Viewing information about the operation of Kaspersky applications on devices
• Viewing reports

To perform its main functions Kaspersky Security Center Linux can receive, store, and process the following information:

• Information about the devices on the organization's network received through scanning of Active Directory or Samba domain controllers or through scanning of IP intervals. Administration Server gets data independently or receives data from Network Agent.
• Information from Active Directory and Samba about organizational units, domains, users, and groups. Administration Server gets data by itself or receives data from Network Agent assigned to work as a distribution point.
• Details of managed devices. Network Agent transfers the data listed below from the device to Administration Server. The user enters the display name and description of the device in the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console interface:
  • Technical specifications of the managed device and its components required for device identification: device display name and description, Windows domain name and type (for devices belonging to a Windows domain), device name in Windows environment (for devices belonging to a Windows domain), DNS domain and DNS name, IPv4 address, IPv6 address, network location, MAC address, operating system type, whether the device is a virtual machine together with hypervisor type, and whether the device is a dynamic virtual machine as part of VDI.
  • Other specifications of managed devices and their components required for audit of managed devices: operating system architecture, operating system vendor, operating system build number, operating system release ID, operating system location folder, if the device is a virtual machine—the virtual machine type, name of the virtual Administration Server that manages the device.
  • Details of actions on managed devices: date and time of the last update, time the device was last visible on the network, restart waiting status, and time the device was turned on.
  • Details of device user accounts and their work sessions.
• Data received by running remote diagnostics on a managed device: trace files, system information, details of Kaspersky applications installed on the device, dump files, event logs, the results of running the diagnostic scripts received from Kaspersky Technical Support.
• Distribution point operation statistics if the device is a distribution point. Network Agent transfers data from the device to Administration Server.
• Distribution point settings entered by the User in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
• Details of Kaspersky applications installed on the device. The managed application transfers data from the device to Administration Server through Network Agent:
  • Settings of Kaspersky applications installed on the managed device: Kaspersky application name and version, status, real-time protection status, last device scan date and time, number of threats detected, number of objects that failed to be disinfected, availability and status of the application components, details of Kaspersky application settings and tasks, information about the active and reserve license keys, application installation date and ID.

• Details of executable files detected on managed devices by the Application Control feature. The managed application transfers data from the device to Administration Server through Network Agent. A complete list of data is provided in the Help files of the corresponding application.
• Information about encrypted Windows-based devices and the encryption status. The managed application transfers data from the device to Administration Server through Network Agent.
• Details of data encryption errors on Windows-based devices performed using the Data encryption feature of Kaspersky applications. The managed application transfers data from the device to Administration Server through Network Agent. A complete list of data is provided in the Help files of the corresponding application.
• Details of files placed in Backup. The managed application transfers data from the device to Administration Server through Network Agent. A complete list of data is provided in the Help files of the corresponding application.

The listed data is stored in the Administration Server database. User names and passwords are stored in encrypted form.

All data processed locally can be transferred to Kaspersky only through dump files, trace files, or log files of Kaspersky Security Center Linux components, including log files created by installers and utilities.

The dump files, trace files, or log files of Kaspersky Security Center Linux components contain arbitrary data of Administration Server, Network Agent, and Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. The files may contain personal or confidential data. The dump files, trace files, or log files are stored on the devices in an unencrypted form. The dump files, trace files, or log files are not transferred to Kaspersky automatically, but an administrator may transfer those files to Kaspersky manually by request from Technical Support to resolve issues related to Kaspersky Security Center Linux performance.

Kaspersky protects any information received in accordance with law and applicable Kaspersky rules. Data is transmitted over a secure channel.

Following the links in the Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, the User agrees to the automatic transfer of the following data:

• Kaspersky Security Center Linux code
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux version
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux localization
• License ID
• License type
• Whether the license was purchased through a partner

The list of data provided via each link depends on the purpose and location of the link.

Kaspersky uses the received data in anonymized form and for general statistics only. Summary statistics are generated automatically from the originally received information and do not contain any personal or confidential data. As soon as new data is accumulated, the previous data is wiped (once a year). Summary statistics are stored indefinitely.
