The Kaspersky Security solution is optimized to support maximum performance of the virtual machines that are protected by the solution.

The solution protects virtual machines running guest server operating systems and guest desktop operating systems.

The solution is not intended for use with industrial processes that employ automated control systems. To protect devices in such systems, we recommend using Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes or Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes.

The Kaspersky Security solution can be used in multitenancy mode. This mode of using the solution allows you to protect isolated virtual infrastructures in the tenant organization or units within a single organization (hereinafter also referred to as "tenants").

The solution includes the following components:

• Kaspersky Security Protection Server (hereinafter also "Protection Server"). The component is a service installed on a special virtual machine known as an SVM (secure virtual machine). SVMs must be deployed on hypervisors in the virtual infrastructure during installation of the Kaspersky Security solution.
• Kaspersky Security Light Agent (hereinafter also "Light Agent"). The component is an application designed to be installed on virtual machines. Light Agent must be installed on each virtual machine that you want to protect with Kaspersky Security.

  The Kaspersky Security solution uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux as the Light Agent for Linux.

  The Kaspersky Security solution uses Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows as the Light Agent for Windows.

• Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent Integration Server (hereinafter also "Integration Server"). The component is an application designed to be installed on a Linux device or a Windows device in your infrastructure. The Integration Server facilitates interaction between the Kaspersky Security solution components and the virtual infrastructure.

To install and manage Kaspersky Security, you need Kaspersky Security Center, Kaspersky's remote centralized application management system. You can use Kaspersky Security Center Windows or Kaspersky Security Center Linux.
