Data processed locally

Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is designed to optimize threat detection, incident investigation, threat response (including automatic), and proactive threat hunting in real time. 

Kaspersky Next XDR Expert performs the following main functions:

  • Receiving, processing, and storing information security events.
  • Analysis and correlation of incoming data.
  • Incidents and alerts investigation, manual response.
  • Automatic response by using the predefined and custom playbooks.
  • Event-based threat hunting in real time.

To perform its main functions, Kaspersky Next XDR Expert can receive, store and process the following information:

  • Information about the devices on which all Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components are installed:
    • Technical specifications: device name, MAC address, operating system vendor, operating system build number, OS kernel version, required installed packages, account rights, service management tool type, and port status. This data is collected by Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit during installation.
    • Technical specifications: IPv4 address. This data is specified by the user in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit configuration file.
    • Device access data: account names and SSH keys. This data is specified by the user in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit configuration file.
    • Database access data: IP/DNS name, port, user name, and password. This data is specified by the user in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit configuration file.
    • KUMA inventory and license keys. This data is specified by the user in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit configuration file.
    • DNS zone. This data is specified by the user in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit configuration file.
    • Certificates for secure connection of devices to OSMP components. This data is specified by the user in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit configuration file.

    Information is saved in the installation log, which is stored in the Kaspersky Deployment Toolkit database. The installation log of the initial infrastructure is saved to a file on the user's device. The storage period is indefinite; the installation log file will be deleted when Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is uninstalled. User names and passwords are stored in an encrypted form.

  • Information about user accounts: full name and email address. The user enters data in the OSMP and KUMA consoles. The data is stored in the database until the user deletes it.
  • Information about tenants: tenant name, parent tenant name, description. The user enters data in the OSMP and KUMA consoles. The data is stored in the database until the user deletes it.
  • Alerts and incidents data:
    • Alert data: triggered rules, compliance with the MITRE matrix, alert status, resolution, assigned operator, affected assets (devices and accounts), observables (IP, MD5, SHA256, URL, DNS domain, or DNS name) user name, host name, comments, and the changelog. This information is generated in the OSMP Console automatically, based on correlation events obtained from Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform.
    • Incident data: linked alerts, triggered rules, compliance with the MITRE matrix, incident status, resolution, affected assets (devices and accounts), observables (from the alert), comments, and the changelog. This information is generated in the OSMP Console automatically, according to the rules or manually by the user.
    • Data on configuring the segmentation rules for generating incidents from alerts: the name and the rule triggering conditions, the template for the name of a new incident, a rule description, and the rule launch priority. The user enters data in the OSMP Console.
    • Information about notification templates: template name, message subject, message template, template description, and detection rules. When the detection rules are triggered, notifications are sent. The user enters data in the OSMP Console.

    The above data is stored in the database until the user deletes it.

  • Playbook data:
    • Playbook operational data, including data on response action parameters: name, description, tags, trigger, and algorithm. The user enters data in the OSMP console.
    • Data on the execution of response actions within a playbook: data from integrated systems, data from devices.
    • The full response history of alerts and incidents.

    The data listed above is stored in the database for three days and then deleted. Data is completely deleted when Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is uninstalled.

  •  Integration settings data (both with Kaspersky solutions or services, and with third-party solutions that participate in Kaspersky Next XDR Expert scenarios):
    • Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal integration: API access token for connecting to Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal, cache retention period, whether the connection is through a proxy, or service type. The user enters data in the OSMP console.
    • KATA and KEDR integration: KATA and KEDR server address: IP address or host name, port, unique ID for connecting to KATA and KEDR, certificate file, and a private key for connecting to KATA and KEDR. The user enters data in the OSMP console.
    • Connection to the host where the custom script will be run: IP address or host name, port, user name and SSH key, and password or key. The user enters data in the OSMP console.
    • OSMP Administration Server integration: Administration Server name, full path to the Administration Server in the hierarchy. The user enters data in the OSMP console.
    • Kaspersky CyberTrace integration: IPv4 address or hostname and port through which Kaspersky CyberTrace is available, name, and password. The user enters data in the KUMA console.
    • Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform (ASAP) integration: API access token for connecting to ASAP, ASAP portal URL, ASAP administrator email, and whether the connection is through a proxy. The user enters data in the KUMA console.
    • Active Directory integration: addresses of domain controllers, user name and password for connecting to domain controllers, and certificate. The user enters data in the KUMA console.
    • External system integration (such as UserGate): account name and SSH key or password for remote access to the client device.

    The above data is stored in the database until the user deletes it. This data is completely deleted when the application is uninstalled.

For detailed information about other data received, stored, and processed to perform the main functions of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert, refer to the application Help:

All data processed locally can be transferred to Kaspersky only through the dump files, trace files, or log files of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components, including log files created by installers and utilities. The dump files, trace files, or log files of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components contain personal or confidential data. The dump files, trace files, and log files are stored on the devices in an unencrypted form. The dump files, trace files, or log files are not transferred to Kaspersky automatically, but an administrator may transfer those files to Kaspersky manually by request from Technical Support to resolve issues related to Kaspersky Next XDR Expert performance. Kaspersky protects any information received in accordance with the law and applicable Kaspersky rules. Data is transmitted over a secure channel. The default storage term for this information (rotation period) is 7 days.
