Enable protection of shared folders against external encryption

If the toggle button is switched on, Kaspersky Endpoint Security analyzes activity in shared folders. If this activity matches a behavior stream signature that is typical for external encryption, Kaspersky Endpoint Security performs the selected action.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security prevents external encryption of only those files that are located on media that have the NTFS file system and are not encrypted by the EFS system.

• Inform. If this option is selected, on detecting an attempt to modify files in shared folders, Kaspersky Endpoint Security adds information about this attempt to modify files in shared folders to the list of active threats.
• Block connection. If this option is selected, on detecting an attempt to modify files in shared folders, Kaspersky Endpoint Security blocks network activity originating from the computer attempting to modify files and creates backup copies of modified files.

If the Remediation Engine component is enabled and the Block connection option is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security restores modified files from backup copies.
