# K7 Total Security Deployment Framework
> Skill by [ara.so](https://ara.so) — Security Skills collection.
## Overview
K7 Total Security 16.0.1195 is a unified endpoint protection framework supporting multi-platform deployment (Windows, macOS, Linux) with AI-powered threat detection, signatureless behavioral analysis, and centralized policy management. This skill covers configuration, deployment automation, and integration patterns.
## Installation

--auth-cert /etc/k7/admin.pem \
--log-level verbose
# Apply to endpoint group
k7-console apply-profile \
--profile enterprise_strict.yaml \
--group "engineering-team" \
--auth-cert /etc/k7/admin.pem \
--schedule "2024-01-15T02:00:00Z"
# Validate profile before deployment
k7-console validate-profile --file enterprise_strict.yaml
```
## API Integration
### Python Client Example
```python
import os
import requests
from typing import Dict, List
class K7SecurityClient:
def __init__(self, base_url: str, cert_path: str):
self.base_url = base_url.rstrip('/')
self.session = requests.Session()
self.session.cert = cert_path
self.session.verify = True
def apply_profile(self, profile_data: Dict, targets: List[str]) -> Dict:
"""Apply security profile to multiple endpoints"""
payload = {
"profile": profile_data,
"targets": targets,
"async": True
}
response = self.session.post(
f"{self.base_url}/api/v1/profiles/apply",
json=payload,
timeout=30
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
def get_endpoint_status(self, endpoint_id: str) -> Dict:
"""Retrieve current protection status for endpoint"""
response = self.session.get(
f"{self.base_url}/api/v1/endpoints/{endpoint_id}/status",
timeout=10
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
def query_threats(self, start_time: str, severity: str = "high") -> List[Dict]:
"""Query threat events from centralized log"""
params = {
"start": start_time,
"severity": severity,
"limit": 1000
}
response = self.session.get(
f"{self.base_url}/api/v1/threats/query",
params=params,
timeout=30
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()["events"]
def trigger_ai_analysis(self, event_id: str) -> Dict:
"""Request AI analysis for specific threat event"""
payload = {"event_id": event_id}
response = self.session.post(
f"{self.base_url}/api/v1/ai/analyze",
json=payload,
timeout=60
)
response.raise_for_status()
return response.json()
# Usage
client = K7SecurityClient(
base_url=os.environ["K7_CONSOLE_URL"],
cert_path="/etc/k7/admin.pem"
)
# Deploy profile to engineering workstations
profile = {
"profile_name": "Engineering Developer",
"enforcement_level": "balanced",
"protection_layers": {
"executable_guard": {
"state": "enabled",
"exceptions": ["/opt/dev-tools/*"]
}
}
}
result = client.apply_profile(
profile_data=profile,
targets=["192.168.1.10", "192.168.1.11", "192.168.1.12"]
)
print(f"Deployment job ID: {result['job_id']}")
# Check endpoint status
status = client.get_endpoint_status("192.168.1.10")
print(f"Protection active: {status['protection_active']}")
print(f"Last scan: {status['last_scan_timestamp']}")
# Query recent high-severity threats
threats = client.query_threats(
start_time="2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
severity="critical"
)
for threat in threats:
print(f"Threat: {threat['type']} on {threat['endpoint_id']}")
# Request AI analysis
analysis = client.trigger_ai_analysis(threat["event_id"])
print(f"AI recommendation: {analysis['recommendation']}")
```
### Webhook Integration for Slack Notifications
```python
import os
import hmac
import hashlib
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
app = Flask(__name__)
WEBHOOK_SECRET = os.environ["K7_WEBHOOK_SECRET"]
SLACK_URL = os.environ["SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL"]
@app.route("/k7-webhook", methods=["POST"])
def handle_k7_event():
# Verify signature
signature = request.headers.get("X-K7-Signature")
body = request.get_data()
expected = hmac.new(
WEBHOOK_SECRET.encode(),
body,
hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()
if not hmac.compare_digest(signature, expected):
return jsonify({"error": "Invalid signature"}), 403
event = request.json
# Format Slack message
slack_payload = {
"text": f"🚨 K7 Security Alert: {event['threat_type']}",
"blocks": [
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": f"*Threat Detected*\n*Type:* {event['threat_type']}\n*Endpoint:* {event['endpoint_id']}\n*Severity:* {event['severity']}"
}
},
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": f"*AI Analysis:*\n{event.get('ai_recommendation', 'Pending analysis...')}"
}
}
]
}
# Forward to Slack
requests.post(SLACK_URL, json=slack_payload)
return jsonify({"status": "processed"}), 200
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)
```
## Common Deployment Patterns
### Mass Deployment via Ansible
```yaml
# k7-deploy.yml
---
- name: Deploy K7 Total Security to fleet
hosts: all_endpoints
become: yes
vars:
k7_console_url: "https://console.example.com:4451"
k7_profile: "{{ lookup('file', 'profiles/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}.yaml') }}"
tasks:
- name: Install K7 agent (Debian/Ubuntu)
apt:
deb: "https://download.k7computing.com/k7-agent-linux-16.0.1195.deb"
state: present
when: ansible_os_family == "Debian"
- name: Configure agent connection
template:
src: agent-config.j2
dest: /etc/k7/agent.conf
mode: '0600'
notify: restart k7-agent
- name: Apply security profile
command: >
k7-console apply-profile
--profile {{ k7_profile }}
--target {{ ansible_default_ipv4.address }}
--auth-cert /etc/k7/admin.pem
delegate_to: localhost
handlers:
- name: restart k7-agent
service:
name: k7-agent
state: restarted
```
### Dynamic Policy Based on Host Role
```python
def generate_profile_for_role(role: str) -> Dict:
"""Generate K7 profile based on host role"""
base = {
"version": "16.0.1195",
"enforcement_level": "adaptive",
"logging": {"verbose": True, "retention_days": 90}
}
role_configs = {
"web_server": {
"web_filter": {"state": "disabled"},
"network_protection": {
"firewall_mode": "strict",
"allowed_ports": [80, 443]
}
},
"database_server": {
"usb_filter": {"state": "enabled", "policy": "block_all"},
"network_protection": {
