Introduction

1. Introduction

Thank you for using the Kanguru Remote Management Console: Cloud Edition (referred to throughout

this manual as KRMC Cloud). KRMC Cloud is a revolutionary product that places a complete USB

security policy into your hands, giving you the ability to remotely manage USB flash drives from

anywhere in the world. KRMC Cloud was designed to work specifically with the following Kanguru

security drives:

Current Legacy

• Defender 3000 • Defender V2

• Defender Elite300 • Defender Basic+

• Defender Elite30 • Defender Elite

• Defender Bio-Elite30 • Virtual Defender

• Defender HDD/SSD • Defender DualTrust

• Defender HDD/SSD300 • Defender 2000

• Defender Elite200

The devices mentioned above communicate through a secure, encrypted tunnel to ensure that your

information is protected. For more information regarding the communication protocols used by

KRMC Cloud, please contact: [email protected]

Important! Any Kanguru device that is configured to communicate with a KRMC Cloud account

will be permanently bound to that KRMC Cloud account. Resetting the device will not unbind it. You

can only stop communication by disabling KRMC Cloud on the device or deleting the device from

the KRMC Cloud console (see section 8.3.4 Codes on p.38).

obtrusive.

5. Associating Devices with User Contacts

Successfully managing a large fleet of devices remotely requires a high-level of organization within

the KRMC framework. It is important that KRMC Admins enforce policies that ensure all remotely

managed devices are associated with their user’s contact information as soon as they are provisioned.

It is helpful for KRMC administrators to have company email addresses associated with each of their

device users. Having comprehensive and accurate user contact information ensures that Admins can

track their devices back to the associated device owner, which allows them to contact the device users

by email and request that they connect their devices to receive updates and security settings.

For recommendations on how to best register devices to KRMC and make sure that accurate user

contact information gets associated, please check the following guide:

6.1.1 SAML Login

Note: SAML login functionality is only available to KRMC Cloud Pro users. Standard KRMC Cloud

users will see a link for SAML Login, however it will not work.

Active Directory (AD) based Single Sign On (SSO) using Security Assertion Markup Language

(SAML) provides KRMC administrators an alternative sign-on option for login. If setup for

the account, an administrator wishing to login to KRMC will be redirected to the SSO URL for

authentication using their own SAML supported AD service. Once the administrator authenticates

into their AD service, they will be redirected back to KRMC in a ‘logged-in’ state, where they can

continue to use KRMC features as usual.

Benefits of using AD based login:

• Productivity savings for administrators – no additional passwords to remember for KRMC. The

KRMC login now ties seamlessly with SSO.

• Administrators are authenticated using the company’s trusted internal AD services, enabling

higher customer trust in the KRMC ecosystem overall.

• Near instant privilege revocation in case a KRMC Admin is terminated as an employee. KRMC

will refresh account state with the customer’s AD server every 30 minutes.

6.1.2 Logging in with 2 Factor Authentication

2 factor authentication is a feature that extends an additional layer of security which prevents

unauthorized users from logging into KRMC Cloud.

When 2 factor authentication has been enabled, after the administrator signs in with their password

they are directed to an authentication page.

An authentication code is automatically generated and sent by email to the administrator.

The administrator must copy the authentication code from the email into the ‘Authentication Code’

field and then click on the Verify button.

Note: Authentication codes are only valid for 30 minutes after they have been generated. If your code

has expired, then click the Resend Code button and a fresh authentication code will be sent by email.

Once the authentication code has been validated, the administrator will be logged into the web console.

For more information about how to enable 2 factor authentication, please refer to section 10.1 Admins

Tab on p.47.

6.1.3 Logging In for the First Time (Admin only)

If you are the Admin and you are logging into KRMC for the first time, you will be required to

complete some initial setup and configuration of your KRMC. This will only have to be done once by

the Admin, the first time they login.

1. The first time that you log into KRMC, they will be greeted with a Welcome screen.

Click on the BEGIN button to proceed with initial setup and configuration.

2. On the next screen you will be prompted to create an Administrative Password. The

Administrative Password must conform to the default security parameters. Enter and then re-

enter an Administrative Password and then click on the Save & Continue button.

3. Define a Global Provisioning Profile and then click on the Save & Continue button. All

managed drives registered with KRMC will be automitically configured with these security

policy settings.

Note: The Admin can modify the Global Provisioning Profile at anytime by navigating to Settings >

Global Provision Profile. For more information about the Global Provisioning Profile, see section

12.1 Global/Admin Provision Profile Tab on p.62.

page.
