Solution architecture

The solution includes the following components:

• Kaspersky Security Protection Server (hereinafter also referred to as the "Protection Server") The component is a service installed on a special virtual machine known as an SVM (secure virtual machine). SVMs must be deployed on hypervisors in the virtual infrastructure during installation of the Kaspersky Security solution.
• Kaspersky Security Light Agent (hereinafter also referred to as the "Light Agent"). The component is an application designed to be installed on virtual machines. Light Agent must be installed on each virtual machine that you want to protect with Kaspersky Security.

  The Kaspersky Security solution uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux as the Light Agent for Linux.

  The Kaspersky Security solution uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows as the Light Agent for Windows.

• Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent Integration Server (hereinafter also referred to as the "Integration Server"). The component is an application designed to be installed on a Linux device or a Windows device in your infrastructure. The Integration Server facilitates interaction between the Kaspersky Security solution components and the virtual infrastructure.

The Integration Server can interact with SVMs and Light Agents from previous versions of the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent solution (open the compatibility tables of different versions of the solution components).

The interface for managing Kaspersky Security solution components using Kaspersky Security Center is provided by Kaspersky Security management plug-ins.

Network Agent, a component of Kaspersky Security Center, facilitates interaction between the Kaspersky Security solution and Kaspersky Security Center, and also provides the ability to manage Kaspersky Security solution components via Kaspersky Security Center.

Network Agent must be installed on each SVM and each virtual machine that needs to be protected using the Kaspersky Security solution.
