About the MDR configuration file

Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response uses an MDR configuration file to enable the solution on Kaspersky EPP applications for workstations (such as Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows) installed on assets.

The MDR configuration file is generated automatically by Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response when you activate the solution via an activation code. The MDR configuration file is a ZIP archive containing the following files:

• KPSN configuration file.
• BLOB (P7) file for deployment of EPP applications that support integration with MDR via Kaspersky Security Center policies.

Once generated, the BLOB file expires in 5 years, even if the license is perpetual or issued for a longer term.

You may not need the BLOB (P7) file on the following conditions:

Note that even if you do not use the MDR configuration file, it is required to activate the solution using the MDR Web Console or MDR Plug-in in Kaspersky Security Center.

• You are only using the following EPP applications:
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows 12.6 or later
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows 12.8 or later in the Light Agent mode
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux 12.3 or later
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux 12.3 or later
  • Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac 12.2 or later
• Your organization only uses the root tenant and never created additional tenants.
• You are not using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum solution simultaneously with Kaspersky MDR solution. For details, refer to Activating the MDR solution in Kaspersky applications.

In this case Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows applies the license from Kaspersky Security Center. If you use tenants other than the root tenant, you need to download MDR configuration file for each tenant.

Download the MDR configuration file and use it according to the instructions for the EPP applications installed on your assets:

• Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows
• Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux
• Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Mac
