Kaspersky Administration Kit
Posted on June 25th, 2009 in Uncategorized |
Kaspersky® Administration Kit is a dynamic and flexible tool for centralized management of Kaspersky Lab applications on a corporate network.
Kaspersky® Administration Kit was expressly designed to meet the needs of networks of any size or complexity. This tool enables central administration of dynamic networks that number tens of thousands of nodes, extending to remote access and laptop users.
Kaspersky® Administration Kit allows for the effective management of antivirus protection on networks of any complexity and configuration. The tool allows communication between administrative servers and clients on networks with dedicated lines, VPN, firewalls and proxy servers.
Deploying antivirus protection, setting parameters for groups and individuals, updating antivirus databases and program modules, monitoring system status and responding effectively to critical situations – these as well as other administrative tasks can all be carried out from the administrator’s workstation. Data on administrative servers and client computers (including laptops) is regularly synchronized to ensure compliance with the company’s security policy and server settings.
This also ensures that administrators receive up-to-the-minute information on network incidents, even when they are not in the office (via SMS, for example). Administration of antivirus protection should be barely perceptible to the end user.
With Kaspersky® Administration Kit, administrators can perform all tasks related to deploying and maintaining the company’s antivirus protection remotely, without having to disrupt end users’ work.
A number of additional safeguards for the administrative network help to harden network security: configuration of administrator role and task definitions, auditing of administrative activities and data exchange via SSL.
Moreover, by operating the antivirus program in non-interactive mode, administrators can ensure that users do not make local changes to application settings that could put the network at risk.
The system is administered via the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), which is a familiar tool for network administrators. A choice of wizards is available to simplify integration and setup of the solution.
There is also the option of making backup copies of the database and all application settings, which saves the administrator time when re-installing the program. Moreover, color-coded graphic reports make for easy reading.
