The "Advanced" tab

In the Improved protection section, you can read the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement and opt in or out of participating in Kaspersky Security Network.

Show KSN Statement

Clicking this button opens a window that displays the text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security can use Global or Private KSN infrastructure. If you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses information about the reputation of files, web resources, and applications received from Kaspersky Security Network and provides data required for detection services functioning to Kaspersky Security Network.

Participate in Kaspersky Security Network

This checkbox enables/disables participation in Kaspersky Security Network.

Participate in Kaspersky Private Security Network

This checkbox enables/disables participation in Kaspersky Private Security Network. For more information about participating in Kaspersky Private Security Network, contact the system administrator in your organization.

Enable extended KSN mode

This checkbox enables/disables provision of additional data to Kaspersky Security Network in order to improve protection of your computer and the usability of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. You can find the list of data in the Kaspersky Security Network Statement and in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security help.

This checkbox is selected automatically if the Participate in Kaspersky Security Network checkbox is selected, but you can deselect it.

Enable cloud mode

Cloud mode refers to the application operating mode in which Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses a light version of anti-malware databases. This mode is available only if the participation in Kaspersky Security Network is enabled. The light version of anti-malware databases lets you use approximately half of the computer RAM that would otherwise be used with the full databases. If you do not participate in Kaspersky Security Network or if cloud mode is disabled, Kaspersky Endpoint Security downloads the full version of anti-malware databases from Kaspersky servers.

If the toggle button is switched on, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the light version of anti-malware databases, which reduces the load on operating system resources.

Note: Kaspersky Endpoint Security downloads the light version of anti-malware databases during the next update after the check box was selected.

If the toggle button is switched off, Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses the full version of anti-malware databases.

Note: Kaspersky Endpoint Security downloads the full version of anti-malware databases during the next update after the check box was cleared.

Clicking this button prevents users without administrator privileges from changing the settings of the Kaspersky Endpoint Security application.

Clicking this button opens a prompt for administrator credentials. After you enter administrator credentials, application settings become editable.
