What's new

Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.1 Light Agent has the following new features:

• You can protect virtual infrastructures based on the Numa vServer platform.
• Now you can add a primary key to the SVM as the active license key for activating solution components, as well as an additional key. An additional Kaspersky EDR Optimum Add-on key is necessary to activate the functionality of Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum on the Light Agent.
• The solution uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux 12.1 as the Light Agent for Linux. The application is improved in the following ways compared to the previous version:
  • You can integrate with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum, which protects the corporate IT infrastructure against threats such as exploits, ransomware, fileless attacks, and hackers using legitimate system tools to compromise devices or data.
  • A new functional component, Web Control, controls user access to web resources. This lets you economize traffic and reduce the waste of working time. When the user attempts to open a website, and access to that website is restricted by Web Control, Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks access or displays a warning.
  • The procedure for installing Kaspersky Endpoint Security using the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console has been improved: in the properties of the application installation package, you can now specify initial configuration settings of the application that were previously available only in the autoinstall.ini configuration file.
  • The new stability monitoring function of Kaspersky Endpoint Security allows you to keep track of the number of abnormal halts and notify the administrator about the unstable operation of the application.

• The list of Linux guest operating systems that Kaspersky Security can protect has expanded. For the list of supported operating systems, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.
