Requirements for Kaspersky Security Center components
For the installation and operation of Kaspersky Security in an organization's local network, one of the following versions of Kaspersky Security Center must be installed:
Kaspersky Security Center 12.
Kaspersky Security Center 11.
Kaspersky Security Center 10 Service Pack 3.
This Guide describes how to work with Kaspersky Security Center 11.
If you want to use Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to manage Kaspersky Security, Kaspersky Security Center 12.2 must be installed in your infrastructure.
If you want to deploy the tenant protection infrastructure using the Integration Server REST API, while Kaspersky Security is used in the multitenancy mode, Kaspersky Security Center 11 or 12 must be installed in your infrastructure. If you only want to receive reports on the tenant protection, you can use any supported version of Kaspersky Security Center.
The operation of Kaspersky Security requires the following Kaspersky Security Center components:
Administration Server.
The following services must be configured on Administration Server:
The activation proxy service is used when activating Kaspersky Security. The activation proxy service is configured in the properties of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server. If the activation proxy service is disabled, the application cannot be activated using the activation code.
The KSN Proxy service facilitates data exchange between Kaspersky Security and Kaspersky Security Network. The KSN Proxy service is configured in the properties of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
For more detailed information about the activation proxy service and KSN Proxy service, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center documentation.
Network Agent. Network Agent is responsible for interaction between Administration Server and virtual machines on which Kaspersky Security is installed.
You can install Network Agent, which is included in the distribution kit of Kaspersky Security Center 11 or 12, or Kaspersky Security Center 10 Service Pack 3, on a virtual machine where Light Agent for Windows will be installed.
The Network Agent must be installed on the virtual machine where Light Agent for Linux will be deployed. It is included in the distribution kit of Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 5.1 Light Agent.
The Network Agent does not need to be installed on SVMs because this component is included in the SVM images.
Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console. The MMC-based Administration Console (hereinafter also "Administration Console") must be installed. You can also use Kaspersky Security Center Web Console (hereinafter also referred to as "Web Console").
