If you selected the normal program operation mode, the initial configuration wizard of the program prompts you to either accept or reject the terms of participation in Kaspersky Security Network (KSN).
Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is a cloud service infrastructure that provides access to Kaspersky's online knowledge base containing information about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. Data from Kaspersky Security Network ensures a faster response by Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway to new objects that have not yet been added to the antivirus databases, improves the performance of some protection components, and reduces the risk of false alarms.
Thanks to users who participate in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky is able to promptly gather information about the types and sources of objects that are not yet listed in databases of anti-virus software, develop solutions for neutralizing such objects, and minimize the number of false positives. Participation in KSN also enables other users of KSN to receive up-to-date information about threats to enterprise IT infrastructure.
When you participate in Kaspersky Security Network, Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway sends queries about reputation of files, web resources, and software to Kaspersky Security Network, and receives responses containing reputation data for such objects.
