    • Paths to objects.
    • MD5 and SHA256 hashes of objects.
    • Command line to start the process together with the arguments.
    • Information about the individual task is stored on the device until Kaspersky Endpoint Agent receives a deletion request from the Central Node or until Kaspersky Endpoint Agent itself is removed from the device.

    Task data is stored in the /var/opt/kaspersky/epagent/tasks directory in plain unencrypted form. By default, only users with root permissions have access to the files.
