Configuring real-time protection

You can define these policy settings only for Android devices.

To configure real-time protection:

  1. Open the policy properties window:
    • In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or Cloud Console, select Devices > Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
    • In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console or Cloud Console, select Devices > Mobile > Devices. Click the mobile device that falls under the policy that you want to configure, and then select the policy on the Active policies and policy profiles tab.
  2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings > Essential protection.
  3. In the Anti-Virus section, configure the mobile device file system protection:
    • To enable real-time protection of the mobile device against threats, select the Enable real-time anti-virus protection check box.
    • Specify the level of protection:
      • If you want Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android to scan only new apps and files from the Downloads folder, select Scan only new apps.
      • To enable extended protection of the mobile device against threats, select Scan all apps and monitor actions with files.

        Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android will scan all files that the user opens, modifies, moves, copies, installs, or saves on the device, as well as newly installed mobile apps.

        On devices running Android 8.0 or later, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android scans files that the user modifies, moves, installs, and saves, as well as copies of files. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android does not scan files when they are opened, or source files when they are copied.

    • To enable additional scanning of new apps before they are started for the first time on the user's device by using the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service, select the Additional protection by Kaspersky Security Network check box.
    • To block adware and apps that can be exploited by criminals to harm the device or user data, select the Detect adware, autodialers, and apps that may be used by cybercriminals to cause harm to the user's device and data check box.
  4. In the Anti-Virus settings section, select the action to be performed on threat detection:
    • Delete and save a backup copy of file in quarantine

      Detected objects will be automatically deleted. The user is not required to take any additional actions. Prior to deleting an object, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android will create a backup copy of file and save it in quarantine.

    • Delete

      Detected objects will be automatically deleted. The user is not required to take any additional actions. Prior to deleting an object, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android will display a temporary notification about the detection of the object.

    • Skip

      If the detected objects have been skipped, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android warns the user about problems in device protection. For each skipped threat, the app provides actions that the user can perform to eliminate the threat. The list of skipped objects may change, for example, if a malicious file was deleted or moved. To receive an up-to-date list of threats, run a full device scan. To ensure reliable protection of your data, eliminate all detected objects.

  5. Click the Save button to save the changes you have made to the policy and exit the policy properties window.

Mobile device settings are configured after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.
