Periodic update of KPSN configuration files

We recommend that you switch the MDR solution to operation without KPSN configuration files. Refer to this article for details: Switching the MDR solution to operation without KPSN configuration files. If you have assets that use KPSN configuration files, you must update KPSN configuration files once a year. Otherwise, telemetry data from these assets will stop being sent to Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response.

To ensure secure transmission of customer telemetry to Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response, Kaspersky periodically updates the encryption keys for MDR telemetry data. The public key is transmitted as part of the KPSN configuration file.

If you are using MDR Plug-in for Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console or on-premises Kaspersky Security Center, in some cases (please check the details in the table below) the KPSN configuration file will be updated automatically. However, in many cases you have to replace the installed KPSN configuration file manually.

No later than one month before the expiration of the current KPSN configuration file, Kaspersky will notify you about the imminent expiration of the KPSN configuration file. There are two notification options:

If there are multiple Kaspersky Security Center servers installed in your network, you have to update the KPSN configuration file on each server.

Updating the KPSN configuration file on KATA servers

If there are KATA servers that are connected to Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response in your network, you have to update the MDR configuration file on these KATA servers.

Please ask the MDR Web Console administrator to download the MDR configuration ZIP archive from the Getting Started page: https://mdr.kaspersky.com/guide.

The Getting Started page in MDR Web Console is available for logged-in users only.

When you get the MDR configuration ZIP archive, please ask the KATA server administrator to upload the MDR configuration file to the KATA servers. In case of problems during an MDR configuration file update, the KATA server administrator should contact Kaspersky Technical Support for instructions on how to update the MDR configuration file on the KATA server.
