Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform

Adding and deleting connector types

Connector types define which capabilities are available for connectors and which functionality is implemented within these capabilities. You can use both connector types built into the application, the vendor of which is Kaspersky, or additional types of connectors from any other vendors.

To add a connector type to the application, you must get the following files from the vendor:

  • Files for installing software modules of connectors
  • Connector type description file

If the connector type from a third-party vendor allows you to store user credentials for accessing the third-party system in the connectors, we recommend taking steps to protect such credentials from being compromised. To minimize risks in the event of compromised credentials, we recommend granting the minimum necessary rights to such accounts (sufficient only for establishing a connection through the connector).

The table of connector types is displayed in the Settings section, Connectors subsection, on the Connector types tab.

Adding a connector type

You can add a connector type to the application using the description file provided by the vendor of the connector type. The connector type description file must be packed into a ZIP archive.

You must manually install software modules of connectors for the connector type that you are adding, using files provided by the vendor of the connector type. Install the software modules on the computers that you want to specify as connector deployment nodes when adding connectors.

To add a connector type:

  1. Log in to the web interface with the application administrator account.
  2. Select the Settings section, Connectors subsection.
  3. On the Connector types tab, open the details area by clicking Add connector type.
  4. Click Browse to select the connector type description file.
  5. Click Save.

The new connector type is added to the table of connectors.
