Web Threat Protection

While the Web Threat Protection component is running, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans inbound traffic and prevents downloads of malicious files from the Internet and also blocks phishing, adware, or other malicious websites. Web Threat Protection is started by default when the application starts.

This feature is not supported in the KESL container.

The application scans HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic. Also, the application scans websites and IP addresses. You can specify the network ports or network port ranges to be monitored.

To monitor HTTPS traffic, enable encrypted connection scans. To monitor FTP traffic, select the Monitor all network ports check box.
