Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack (KATA) Platform

Data received from the Central Node component

8 November 2023

ID 194532

Kaspersky Endpoint Agent saves the values of settings received from the Central Node component on the hard disk of the computer. Data is saved in open non-encrypted form in the folder C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\protected\data.

By default, only users with System and Administrator permissions have read-access to files when Self-Defense is enabled. When Self-Defense is disabled, users with System and Administrator permissions can also delete the files, modify their contents, and modify the access rights to them. The Kaspersky Endpoint Agent application does not manage access permissions to this folder or any files in it. It is the system administrator who determines access permissions.

The data is deleted when Kaspersky Endpoint Agent is removed.
