√ Locate devices via hostname
√ Create remote policy modifications like:
○ Password Strength and Length (e.g. 10 characters: 2 upper, 2 numbers, etc)
○ Limit Invalid Login Attempts (e.g. 3 retries before drive is wiped)
○ Rate at which password should be changed (e.g. every 30, 60, or 90 days)
○ Change user password
√ Create user groups
KRMC Compatibility
There are two versions of KRMC that you can use to manage your drives:
• KRMC Enterprise Edition - KRMC is hosted on the customer’s own server
• KRMC Cloud - KRMC is hosted on a Kanguru server
The Kanguru Defender Basic+ is compatible with both KRMC Enterprise Edition as well as Cloud.

Kanguru Defender Manager Basic+
2. Kanguru Defender Manager Basic+
Kanguru Defender Manager Basic+ (referred to throughout this manual as KDMBasic+) is the client
software preloaded on the Defender’s CD-ROM partition. The user needs to login to KDMBasic+ in
order to access the secure, encrypted partition. KDMBasic+ comes pre-installed on your Defender. No
installation on your PC is necessary.
2.1 Running KDMBasic+
The Kanguru Defender Basic+ is compatible with multiple operating systems. Running the KDMBasic+
application can be different depending on the OS your computer is running.
2.1.1 Windows Users
To run KDMBasic+, simply connect your Defender Basic+ to your computer through a USB port. When
you connect your Defender Basic+, a CD-ROM partition and a removable disk partition should appear
under My Computer. If you are running Windows 7 and do not see the removable disk, please refer to
page 8 in this manual.
The KDMBasic+ application should start automatically.
If KDMBasic+ does not start automatically:
1. Open My Computer and open the Defender Basic+’s CD-ROM partition. The drive letter (e.g. D:,
E:, F:) will depend on your computer.
2. Double-click on the KDMBasic+.exe file to run the application.
Caution! The KDMBasic+.exe file needs to remain on your Defender Basic+’s CD-ROM partition at all
times. Always run the application from the CD-ROM partition. Do not try to copy or run KDMBasic+
from your computer’s local hard drive.

Attention Windows 7 Users
Attention Windows 7 Users
Windows 7 users may not see the removable disk partition until they have logged into KDMBasic+ (see
section 2.3 Logging into KDMBasic+ on page 17 for more information). This is normal.
If you are using the Defender Basic+ with the Windows 7 operating system and for any reason need to
see the removable disk before you log into KDMBasic+, you will need to configure Window’s Folder
and Search Options. Note: This is user preference only. There is no need to configure Windows in order
to use your Defender.
1. From My Computer, click on the Organize menu and then select Folder and search options.
2. The Folder Options window appears. Click on the View tab and then scroll down to the option for
Hidden Files and Folders. Select Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
3. Click on the OK button to finish configuring Windows. The removable disk is now visible before
you log into KDMBasic+.

it.
In the window that opens, double-click on the KDMBasic+.app file to launch the KDMBasic+ application.
Caution! The KDMBasic+.app file needs to remain on your Defender Basic+’s CD-ROM partition at
all times. Always run the application from the Defender Basic+’s CD-ROM partition. Do not try to copy
KDMBasic+ or run KDMBasic+ from your computer’s hard drive.

Finder window.
