About Kaspersky Security Integration with Autotask
Generally, integration is the process of bringing together components into a single system that functions as one. The aim of Kaspersky Security Integration with Autotask is to integrate Kaspersky Lab solutions (Kaspersky Security Center or Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud) and Autotask to provide a powerful combination of monitoring and management tools, such as automated billing and creating tickets for client accounts.
In terms of Kaspersky Security Integration with Autotask, integration is a set of parameters and interaction rules that can be set up and configured. First, you create an integration between your Kaspersky Lab solution and Autotask, and then you can manage and configure your integrations, view and edit integration parameters. While configuring an integration, you set up mapping between the entities of Kaspersky Lab solution and Autotask entities, and define rules that determine how your Kaspersky Lab solution interacts with Autotask.
Kaspersky Security Integration with Autotask consists of two applications: Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP and Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP (Managed Service Providers).
- Kaspersky Security Integration Tool for MSP provides a graphical user interface to configure integration. The tool is used to configure connection between the Kaspersky Lab solution that you use and Autotask. The tool is also used to configure mapping between the Kaspersky Lab solution entities, such as virtual servers, if you use Kaspersky Security Center, or workspaces, if you use Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud, and Autotask entities, such as Accounts and Services.
- Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP is a Microsoft Windows service application that is installed on the computer where Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server is installed. Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP synchronizes data in Kaspersky Security Center and Autotask. It is a service application only, with no user interface.
