Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform

Managing account credentials secrets for remote connections

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform implements a secret storage. Secrets allow securely storing and using identification and authentication information that the application needs for automatic remote connections to devices. Secrets are used in active polling jobs.

The application supports various types of secrets. Depending on the purpose of the secret, you can select a relevant type and enter the appropriate data when adding or editing the secret settings.

Keep in secret the credentials required for remote connections to devices using remote connection protocols. Active polling jobs can use various protocols for remote connections, depending on the selected polling methods.

To ensure that identification and authentication details stored in secrets are used securely, the application implements protection against compromise of secrets when connecting to remote devices. After public keys received from devices are saved in the application, it monitors all subsequent remote connections to these devices and does not send information from secrets if devices on the network are spoofed.

Critical information of the secret (password or private key of the certificate) is accessible to you in plain text only once, when you enter this information while creating the secret. After a secret is saved, its critical information can no longer be viewed. You can only replace the critical information of a secret with new critical information while editing the secret (for example, you can enter a different password).

You can manage secrets in the Settings section, Secrets subsection. No more than 500 secrets can be added to the application.

Only users with the Administrator role can manage secrets.
