Introduction to Direct Endpoint Management plugin for

Kaseya VSA

Description of ESET DEM plugin for Kaseya VSA

ESET Direct Endpoint Management integration establishes direct communication between ESET

endpoint/encryption solutions and the Kaseya Virtual System Administrator (VSA). The Kaseya VSA endpoint

agent can also deploy and manage endpoints, so administrators do not need additional servers or an intermediate

console to manage the product. After a short installation process, the integration is embedded in the Kaseya VSA

interface and is always available to the administrator. The integration is created specifically for Kaseya. Therefore,

the integration uses features well known by the Kaseya VSA (for example, filtering options according to Agent

name or Machine groups and the option to choose a View are available across the ESET integration. In addition,

the integration also uses the same concepts as the ESET PROTECT Web Console.
