When using Kaspersky Security in multitenancy mode, one Kaspersky Security instance installed in the provider organization infrastructure (hereinafter also referred to as the "provider") allows protection of isolated virtual infrastructures of tenant organizations or isolated units of one tenant organization (hereinafter also referred to as the "tenant").
The procedures for deploying and using Kaspersky Security in multitenancy mode are automated by tools of the Integration Server REST API.
The following Kaspersky Security usage scenarios in multitenancy mode are provided:
If the tenant protection infrastructure is already deployed in your infrastructure without using the Integration Server REST API, you can register existing tenants and their virtual machines and receive tenant protection reports.
Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.2 Light Agent allows you managing protection of the tenants in whose virtual infrastructure Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent is installed. To enable and disable protection of virtual machines with Light Agent 5.1 installed, the policies for enabling and disabling protection are used (for more details, refer to Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent Help). To enable and disable protection of virtual machines with Light Agent version 5.2 installed, no policies for enabling and disabling protection are required.
