Inquiry about Managing EDR Expert from Cloud Console without KATA

[Youssef Hamdy]

Dear Kaspersky Team,

I would like to clarify the following scenario:

Is it possible to manage the on-premise EDR Expert component through the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console, while the on-premise web console is configured as a slave server to the Cloud Console?

The reason for this setup is that I currently do not have the resources to deploy KATA, but I still need to manage the EDR Expert components centrally from the cloud. For context, I installed EDR Expert via the MMC console and activated the EDR Expert component in the package.

Could you please confirm if this configuration is supported or provide guidance on the recommended approach?

Thank you in advance for your support.

The reason for this setup is that my servers do not have internet access — they only see the on-premises KSC, which is configured as a distribution point. I want to avoid losing the EDR Expert features, so I need to know whether this is possible without KATA, or if the servers must have internet access and be connected to the cloud in order for the EDR Expert features to function.

You can use a workstation as a distribution point by configuring a netagent with internet access, and that DP will poll the on-premises network where the workstation does not have internet. This process allows you to deploy an EDR Expert License, and there is no need for an on-premises KSC Slave Server in this deployment schema.
