Technical Details
what runs on :8087Kaspersky AV Control Center on port 8087 primarily serves the need for centralized management of Kaspersky antivirus products in enterprise environments. The Control Center facilitates deployment, real-time monitoring, policy enforcement, and log collection across multiple endpoints, both servers and clients.
Operating mainly over UDP, this port is leveraged for lightweight communication such as status updates, event notifications, and coordination messages between endpoint security agents and the management console. The choice of UDP benefits scenarios where lower latency or reduced overhead is preferable.
Typical implementations include configuration of secure channels for agent registration, distribution of antivirus definition updates, remote scanning commands, and alerting mechanisms. Proper integration with Kaspersky Security Center ensures scalable, manageable, and comprehensive threat protection across the network.

security overview
Common Vulnerabilities:
- Exposure of this port to untrusted networks may allow attackers to intercept management commands.
- Potential exploitation through spoofed UDP packets leading to denial-of-service or misconfiguration.
- Lack of transport encryption can result in sensitive data leakage, such as policy details or endpoint statuses.
Mitigations:
- Restrict port 8087 exposure strictly to trusted internal network segments via firewall rules.
- Implement strict access controls and network segmentation to limit unauthorized communication.
- Where possible, enable encryption or tunnel UDP traffic over secure VPNs.
- Monitor UDP traffic to and from port 8087 for anomalies indicating spoofing or abuse attempts.
- Keep Kaspersky products and control center software up-to-date with the latest security patches.
