Details
Agent.zip
This is used to deploy functional modules and upgrade the Deep Security Agent (DSA). This package includes the following:
- Agent-Core installer – contains the fundamental and pure agent without any module.
- Feature (AM, WRS, FW, DPI, IM, LI, Relay) - functions in a plugin way; agent can use a certain feature only when it is deployed via assign policy/rules.
- Plugin-Filter for different Linux kernel – enables DSA to work on different kinds of Linux kernel.
KernelSupport.zip
This contains a newer plugin-filter for different Linux kernel, which is used to support the new released Linux kernel. The KernelSupport.zip contains the new released DSA compatible Linux kernel and will be used in a way similar to a hot fix.
