Configuring the Mail Threat Protection component on Windows devices

The Mail Threat Protection component scans incoming and outgoing email messages for malware and other threats. The Mail Threat Protection component starts when the Windows device security application is started. Mail Threat Protection permanently resides in the computer's RAM, scanning all messages sent or received via POP3, SMTP, IMAP, MAPI, and NNTP.

Mail Threat Protection intercepts and scans every message received or sent by the user. If no threats are detected in a message, it becomes available to the user.

To configure the Mail Threat Protection component on Windows devices:

1. Open Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.
2. Select the Security management → Security profiles section.

   The Security profiles section contains a list of security profiles configured in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.

3. In the list, select the security profile for the devices on which you want to configure the Mail Threat Protection component.
4. Click the link with the profile name to open the security profile properties window.

   The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.

5. In the Windows group, select the Security settings section.
6. Set the toggle switch to Mail Threat Protection is enabled.
7. Click the Settings link below the Mail Threat Protection is enabled toggle switch.

   The Mail Threat Protection component settings page opens.

8. In the Security level section, select the security level that meets your requirements for device protection.

   The settings of the security level selected will be displayed under the list of levels.

9. Click the Save button.

After the security profile is applied, the Mail Threat Protection component will be enabled on Windows devices. This component will scan all email messages for malware, in accordance with the current settings.
