About Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage
Integration is the process of bringing together components into a single system. Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage integrates Kaspersky Lab solutions (Kaspersky Security Center or Kaspersky Business Hub) and ConnectWise Manage to provide a combination of monitoring and management tools, such as automated billing and ticket creation for client accounts. Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage integrates ConnectWise Manage with all cloud-based products managed by Kaspersky Business Hub: Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud and Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Office 365.
In terms of Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage, 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 ConnectWise Manage; then you can manage and configure your integrations, and view and edit integration parameters. When configuring an integration, you set up mapping between the entities of the Kaspersky Lab solution and ConnectWise Manage entities, and define rules that determine how your Kaspersky Lab solution interacts with ConnectWise Manage.
Kaspersky Security Integration with ConnectWise Manage 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 (GUI) to configure integration. The tool is used to configure connection between the Kaspersky Lab solution that you use and ConnectWise Manage. The tool is also used to configure mapping between the Kaspersky Lab solution entities and ConnectWise Manage entities. Kaspersky Lab solution entities are virtual servers, if you use Kaspersky Security Center, or companies, if you use Kaspersky Business Hub. ConnectWise Manage entities are Companies and Products.
- Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP is a Microsoft Windows service application that is installed on the computer that has Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server installed. Kaspersky Security Integration Service for MSP synchronizes data in Kaspersky Security Center and ConnectWise Manage. It is a service application only, with no user interface.
