What's new in Kaspersky Security 10 for Windows Server

• Integration with Kaspersky Security Network. 
  The application increases server and NAS protection tasks efficacy by the means of Kaspersky Security Network cloud services, which detect potential security threats based on Kaspersky Lab latest data. KSN Usage task does not imply any personal information transfer, except for the scanned files checksums.
  You can enable or disable KSN usage by accepting or denying the KSN Statement conditions.  
• Applications Launch Control.
  ПThe application allows or denies the executable files launch, scripts launch, MSI packages launch, driver loading, and DLL modules loading via defined applications launch control rules.
  
• Untrusted Hosts Blocking. 
  The application allows you to block access to network file resources in case any malicious activity from an untrusted host is detected when running Real-Time File Protection or Anti-Cryptor tasks.
  You can manage the list of untrusted hosts and configure the hosts blocking term.
• Anti-malware cryptors protection feature. 
  The application traces the malicious encrypting attempts targeted on data that are stored in the shared network folders, and lists hosts as untrusted, if they were detected as a source of malicious activity.  
  You can configure the settings of untrusted hosts blocking, and the task scope (by excluding folders where data are normally encrypted).
• The option of activating the product with the activation code has been added. Now you can activate it either with the activation code or with the key file.
