Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

Installing Light Agents and Network Agent

On each virtual machine that needs to be protected using the Kaspersky Security solution, you need to install Light Agent and Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent.

Installed on protected virtual machines, Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent facilitates interaction between a Light Agent installed on a virtual machine and the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server, and lets you use Kaspersky Security Center to manage the operation of the Light Agent.

You can install Light Agent on a virtual machine template that will be used to create persistent and non-persistent virtual machines. When installing on a non-persistent virtual machine template, we recommend configuring additional installation settings for Light Agents and Network Agent.

You can install Light Agent on virtual machines as part of an infrastructure that uses VDI-based solutions for creating virtual desktops. For Light Agent for Windows to be compatible with some virtualization solutions, additional steps are required during installation.
