Deployment schemas of Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate

Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is used to integrate Kaspersky Lab solutions with ConnectWise Automate Control Center. The Plug-in allows you to monitor and manage the state of all Kaspersky Lab security applications installed at your clients’ locations by means of one convenient tool—so multiple software products are not needed.

The deployment schema that suits your integration depends on the Kaspersky Lab solution you use and on your integration model. There are three deployment schemas:

• For an on-premises version of a Kaspersky Lab solution—Kaspersky Security Center.
• For an on-premises version of a Kaspersky Lab solution—Kaspersky Security Center with slave Administration Servers.
• For a cloud-based version of a Kaspersky Lab solution—Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.

This section describes the deployment schemas in detail.

Deployment schema for on-premises solution

Deploy Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate based on this schema if you use an on-premises version of a Kaspersky Lab solution—Kaspersky Security Center—and if you do not have slave Administration Servers in your managed company infrastructure.

The components of Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate are shown as orange rectangles in the following figure.

Deployment schema for on-premises solution

The following list describes deployment sequence and data flow:

• First, Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is installed on the computer where ConnectWise Automate Server is installed.
• Then the computers managed by ConnectWise Automate, and with Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server installed, are detected and Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is installed on those computers.
• ConnectWise Automate Server exchanges data with the computers that have ConnectWise Automate Agents installed.
• Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server exchanges data with client computers that have Kaspersky Lab programs installed. These computers are considered managed if they have only Network Agent installed, or protected if they have Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed.

Deployment schema for on-premises solution and slave servers

Deploy Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate based on this schema if you use an on-premises version of a Kaspersky Lab solution—Kaspersky Security Center—and if you use slave Administration Servers in your managed company infrastructure.

The components of Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate are shown as orange rectangles in the following figure.

Deployment schema for on-premises solution and slave servers

The following list describes deployment prerequisites, deployment sequence, and data flow:

• One or more Administration Servers are used in the client's infrastructure. These Administration Servers are slave Administration Servers relative to the Administration Server that is installed in the MSP infrastructure. The Administration Server that is installed in the MSP infrastructure is the master Administration Server. You can use this type of deployment to decrease load on your master Administration Server.
• First, Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is installed on the computer where ConnectWise Automate Server is installed.
• Then the computers managed by ConnectWise Automate, and with Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server installed, are detected and Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is installed on those computers.
• ConnectWise Automate Server exchanges data with the computers that have ConnectWise Automate Agents installed.
• Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server exchanges data with client computers that have Kaspersky Lab programs installed. These computers are considered managed if they have only Network Agent installed, or protected if they have Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed.

Deployment schema for cloud-based solution

Deploy Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate based on this schema if you use the cloud-based version of a Kaspersky Lab solution—Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.

The components of Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate are shown as orange rectangles in the following figure.

Deployment schema for cloud-based solution

The following list describes deployment prerequisites, deployment sequence, and data flow:

• First, Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is installed on the computer, where ConnectWise Automate Server is installed.
• Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate is installed on a computer that has ConnectWise Automate Server installed and the "Cloud Bridge" role assigned. The "Cloud Bridge" role indicates that this computer interacts with Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud and connects ConnectWise Automate and Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud like a bridge.
• ConnectWise Automate Server exchanges data with the computers that have ConnectWise Automate Agents installed.
• Data from Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud workspaces is transferred to Kaspersky Security Plug-in for ConnectWise Automate and ConnectWise Automate through the "Cloud Bridge" computer.
