To protect SharePoint servers more effectively, Kaspersky Security uses data that is collected from users around the globe. Kaspersky Security Network is designed to process such data.
Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of cloud services providing access to Kaspersky Lab's online knowledge base with information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. The use of data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures faster responses by Kaspersky Lab applications to threats, improves the effectiveness of some protection components, and reduces the risk of false positives.
Your participation in Kaspersky Security Network helps Kaspersky Lab to gather real-time information about the types and sources of new threats, develop methods of neutralizing them, and reduce the number of false alarms. Participation in Kaspersky Security Network also lets you access reputation statistics for applications and websites.
When you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, certain statistics are collected while Kaspersky Security is running and are automatically sent to Kaspersky Lab. This information makes it possible to keep track of threats in real time. Also, additional checking at Kaspersky Lab may require sending files (or parts of files) that are imposed to an increased risk of being exploited by intruders to do harm to the user's computer or data.
Participation in Kaspersky Security Network is voluntary. To start using Kaspersky Security Network, you have to accept the terms of a special agreement – the Kaspersky Security Network Statement. You can also opt out of participating in Kaspersky Security Network at any time. No personal data of the user is collected, processed, or stored by the Kaspersky Security Network services. The types of data that Kaspersky Security sends to Kaspersky Security Network are also described in the Kaspersky Security Network Statement. You can use Kaspersky Security Network services if the application license has not yet expired and the key has not been blacklisted.
