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, and to configure integration with Kaspersky Anti-Targeted Attack Platform.

You may not need MDR configuration file on the following conditions:

• You are using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows 12.6 or later as EPP application.
• You have only root tenant.
• You are not using Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum solution simultaneously with Kaspersky MDR solution.

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.

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:

• Kaspersky Security Network configuration file.
• BLOB (P7) file for deployment of EPP applications that support integration with MDR via Kaspersky Security Center policies.
• BAT file for deployment of legacy configurations with older versions of EPP applications that do not support integration with MDR via Kaspersky Security Center policies.

  You can download the MDR configuration file with the BLOB (P7) file or with the BAT file. For details on different deployment scenarios, refer to Deployment of Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response.

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
