About Kaspersky Security Center Linux

The section contains information about the purpose of Kaspersky Security Center Linux, its main features and components, and ways to purchase Kaspersky Security Center Linux.

Kaspersky Security Center Linux (also referred to as Kaspersky Security Center) is designed to deploy and manage protection of client devices by using Linux-based Administration Server.

Kaspersky Security Center Linux enables you to install Kaspersky security applications on devices on a corporate network, remotely run scan and update tasks, and manage the security policies of managed applications. As an administrator, you can use a detailed dashboard that provides a snapshot of corporate device statuses, detailed reports, and granular settings in protection policies.
