WHAT'S NEW IN KASPERSKY ENDPOINT SECURITY

Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12.6 for Windows offers the following features and improvements:

1.     The functionality for integration with Kaspersky SIEM solution - Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform (KUMA) - has been added. Previously, you could configure integration with KUMA via Kaspersky Security Center only. Now you can directly add a computer with installed Kaspersky Endpoint Security to the KUMA console. As a result, KUMA will process Windows event logs data, received in CEF format.

2.     A new component - System Integrity Monitoring - has been added. The component monitors changes in the operating system that may indicate computer security breaches. When such changes are detected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security generates corresponding events and alerts the administrator.

3.     The status of the installed built-in EDR agent (KATA) has been added to the computer properties in the Kaspersky Security Center console. Now, if you have a built-in EDR agent (KATA) installed, the Endpoint Sensor status parameter displays the current status of the component (e.g., Running, Stopped, Not supported by license, etc.).

4.     Exclusions recommended by Kaspersky for correct operation on servers have been added to the trusted zone. Such exclusions include, for example, MDF and LDF database files for SQL servers. By default, the built-in exclusions are disabled.

5.     The display of alert details for Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response Optimum has been moved from the Kaspersky Endpoint Security management plug-in to a separate Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response management plug-in. The EDR management plugin is a single plugin for working with agents on Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Now, when working with EDR Optimum, you will need Kaspersky Endpoint Security management plug-in to create threat response tasks and EDR management plug-in to view alert details.

CHECKING COMPATIBILITY WITH KASPERSKY FULL DISK ENCRYPTION

The limitations of Kaspersky full disk encryption support and the list of devices for which hard disk encryption is supported with limitations are listed in the article https://support.kaspersky.com/15018.

Before using Kaspersky full disk encryption, we recommend checking compatibility using the FDE Test Utility. You can download the utility and find detailed information about its operation and usage on the Knowledge Base page https://support.kaspersky.com/14328. The FDE Test Utility is intended to perform the following functions:

·         Check the computer’s compatibility with Kaspersky full disk encryption.

·         Collect extended diagnostic information if a computer is incompatible with Kaspersky full disk encryption.

To check if your computer is compatible with Kaspersky full disk encryption, use FDE Test Utility 11.14.0.4.

COMPATIBILITY WITH KASPERSKY ENDPOINT AGENT

Kaspersky is switching all Detection and Response to working with the Kaspersky Endpoint Security built-in agent instead of Kaspersky Endpoint Agent. Starting with version 12.1, the application supports all Detection and Response solutions. In addition, starting with version 12.1, the application is no longer compatible with Kaspersky Endpoint Agent, and installing both applications side by side on the same computer is no longer possible.

MAIN KNOWN ISSUES

The list of limitations and known issues is available in the user documentation https://support.kaspersky.com/help/KESWin/12.6/en-US/201943.htm.
