Alerts may contain user data. If the Central Node component is installed on the server, information about alerts and files that resulted in an alert are stored on the server hosting the Central Node component in the /data/var/lib/kaspersky/storage/pgsql/10/data/ directory. When the Central Node component is installed on a cluster, information about alerts and files that resulted in an alert are stored on the storage servers.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform resources provide no capability to restrict the rights of the users of servers and operating systems to which the Central Node component is installed.
