Enabling and disabling Network Activity Scanner for virtual machines

The suspicious network activity detection functionality is available only if you are using the application under an enterprise license.

To enable or disable Network Activity Scanner for virtual machines:

1. In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, open the properties of the policy whose scope includes the relevant virtual machines:
   1. In the console tree, select the folder or administration group in which the policy was created.
   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, in the Network threat protection section, select the Intrusion Prevention subsection.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Select the Monitor virtual machine network activity check box if you want Kaspersky Security to scan the traffic of protected virtual machines to detect suspicious network activity that may be a sign of an intrusion into the protected infrastructure.

     If the check box is selected and Kaspersky Security detects suspicious network activity in the traffic of protected virtual machines, it takes the action defined in the application settings. If network protection is deployed in standard mode, by default Kaspersky Security terminates the connection between a protected virtual machine that displays suspicious network activity and other virtual machines. You can modify this action. If network protection is deployed in monitoring mode, Kaspersky Security does not perform any actions in relation to virtual machines displaying suspicious network activity.

   • Clear the Monitor virtual machine network activity check box if you do not want Kaspersky Security to scan the traffic of protected virtual machines for suspicious network activity.
4. In the Properties: <Policy name> window, click OK.
