Enabling and disabling use of Kaspersky Security Network

The use of KSN by Kaspersky Security is enabled or disabled in a policy. If KSN usage is enabled in the active policy and the anti-virus protection provider has enabled the use of KSN, KSN services are used in the operation of Kaspersky Security during virtual machine protection and when executing virtual machine scan tasks.

If the policy configured for KSN usage is inactive or KSN usage is disabled in the policy of the provider, KSN services are not used in the operation of Kaspersky Security.

To enable or disable the use of KSN by Kaspersky Security:

  1. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, open the properties of the policy that determines the protection settings for your virtual infrastructure:
    1. In the console tree, select the Managed devices folder.
    2. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
    3. Select a policy in the list of policies and double-click the policy to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
  2. In the policy properties window, select the KSN settings section.
  3. If you want to enable use of KSN by the application:
    1. Select the Use KSN check box.
    2. In the opened window, read the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.
    3. If you agree with all the terms of the Statement, select I have read, understand, and accept the terms of this Kaspersky Security Network Statement and click OK.
  4. If you want to disable the use of KSN, clear the Use KSN check box.
  5. In the Properties: <Policy name> window, click OK.
