Updating application databases using Kaspersky Security Center

Organizations whose network infrastructure does not have an Internet connection can receive KSMG database updates through Kaspersky Security Center. Database updates are downloaded to the Kaspersky Security Center repository deployed in the infrastructure of the organization and from there, forwarded to KSMG.

This section contains instructions on setting up KSMG database updates using Kaspersky Security Center 15.0 Linux and 15.1 Linux.

Configuring the receipt of KSMG database updates through Kaspersky Security Center involves the following steps:

1. Preparing for starting Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent in the closed software environment mode

   You must perform this step if you want to use the Network Agent in Astra Linux Special Edition with the closed software environment mode enabled.
