Virtual machine protection status

You can view information about the protection status of the virtual machines as follows:

• In Kaspersky Security Center using the statuses of client devices.
• In Kaspersky Security Center, using the statuses of Light Agent functional components on the virtual machines.
• In Light Agent for Windows local interface (for the virtual machines with Light Agent for Windows installed).
• Using the commands of Light Agent for Linux command line (for the virtual machines with Light Agent for Linux installed).
• Using Security Tags that Kaspersky Security can assign to a protected virtual machine in the infrastructure on VMware ESXi or KVM platform.

On virtual machines running the Windows 10 or Windows 11 operating system, information about Kaspersky Security and about the protection status of a virtual machine is also displayed in the Windows Defender Security Center and in the Security and Maintenance Center. However, information about application operation and about the protection status of a virtual machine is more up to date in Kaspersky Security Center and in the local interface of Light Agent for Windows.
