Kaspersky Security Center 14.2 Linux

Kaspersky Security Center 14.2 Linux has several new features and improvements:

• In an Administration Server hierarchy, a Linux-based Administration Server can now act as a primary Server and can manage Linux-based or Windows-based Servers acting as a secondary one.
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux now supports Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), KSN Proxy service, and Kaspersky Private Security Network (KPSN).
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux now supports Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows as a managed application.

  Remote installation of Network Agent for Windows on client devices is possible only by using operating system tools through Windows-based distribution points.

• Data on Windows-based managed devices can now be encrypted to reduce the risk of unintentional leakage of sensitive and corporate data if a laptop or hard drive is stolen or lost. This feature is implemented through Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux allows you to download and update both distribution packages of Kaspersky applications and management web plug-ins right in the user interface of Kaspersky Security Center Linux.
• By default, information about applications installed on the Linux-based and Windows-based managed devices is sent to Administration Server.
• Access to Kaspersky servers is now verified automatically. If access to the servers by using the system DNS is not possible, the application uses the public DNS.
• Sensitive data that is transferred between the primary Administration Server, secondary Administration Servers, and Network Agents is now protected with the AES encryption algorithm.
• User rights on a virtual Administration Server are available for configuration any time, independently from the primary Administration Server. Also, you can assign primary Server users the rights to manage a virtual Server.
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux now supports work with the following DBMSs:
  • PostgreSQL 13.x
  • PostgreSQL 14.x
  • Postgres Pro 13.x (all editions)
  • Postgres Pro 14.x (all editions)
• You can use Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to export policies and tasks to a file, and then import the policies and tasks to Kaspersky Security Center Windows or Kaspersky Security Center Linux.
• The Do not use proxy server option has been removed from the following tasks:
  • Download updates to the Administration Server repository
  • Download updates to the repositories of distribution points

Kaspersky Security Center 14 Linux

Kaspersky Security Center Linux has several new features and improvements:

• Besides the Download updates to the Administration Server repository task, anti-virus databases for Kaspersky security applications can now be downloaded through the Download updates to the repositories of distribution points task.
• Anti-virus databases and application modules on the managed devices can be propagated and updated through Administration Server or distribution points. You can choose an update scheme optimal for your organization, to reduce the load on Administration Server and optimize data traffic on the corporate network.
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux downloads from Kaspersky update servers only those updates that are requested by the Kaspersky security applications. This reduces the size of the downloaded data.
• You can now use the diff files feature to download anti-virus databases and software modules. A diff file describes the differences between two versions of a file of a database or software module. The usage of diff files saves traffic inside your company's network because diff files occupy less space than entire files of databases and software modules.
• The Update verification task was added. By using this task, you can automatically check the downloaded updates for operability and errors before you install the updates on the managed devices.
• Kaspersky Security Center Linux now supports Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes 1.3 as a managed application.
