Configuring the KICS Connector

Kaspersky MLAD uses the KICS Connector to receive data from Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks 4.0 and later and to send back incident registration messages.

The connector for integration with Kaspersky MLAD must be created and added to Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks in advance. For detailed information about creating and adding a connector, please refer to the Adding a connector section of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Help Guide.

System administrators can perform integration with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks version 4.0 or higher.

To configure the KICS Connector:

1. In the lower-left corner of the page, click the  button.

   You will be taken to the administrator menu.

2. Select System parameters → KICS Connector.

   A list of options appears on the right.

3. Using the Browse button under the setting Communication data package for KICS Connector (zip) field, add the file containing the settings for configuring interaction between Kaspersky MLAD and Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks.

   For detailed information about creating a communication data package, please refer to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Help Guide. The created communication data package must be saved on the computer where Kaspersky MLAD is installed.

   To delete a communication data package, in the Communication data package for KICS Connector (zip) field, click the Clear () icon. To save the communication data package on your computer, click the Download icon ().

   By default, scaling of the received data is disabled.
