Selecting the traffic processing mode for the Network Threat Protection component

If you specified an SVM image with the installed Network Threat Protection component at the previous step, at this step you need to select the traffic processing mode for the Network Threat Protection component. The traffic processing mode determines the settings of the application installed on an SVM with the Network Threat Protection component.

You can select one of the following traffic processing modes:

• Standard mode. If this mode is selected, the virtual filter (VMware DVFilter) intercepts the traffic of virtual machines and sends it to Kaspersky Security to be scanned. When Kaspersky Security detects signs of intrusions or attempts to access dangerous or undesirable web addresses, it performs the action that is specified in policy settings and relays information about events to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

  This option is selected by default.

• Monitoring mode. If this mode is selected, Kaspersky Security receives a copy of traffic of virtual machines. When signs of intrusions or attempts to access dangerous or undesirable web addresses are detected, Kaspersky Security does not take any actions to prevent the threats but only relays information about the events to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

After network protection service registration and SVM deployment, the traffic processing mode cannot be changed. To select a different traffic processing mode, you will have to remove the SVMs, unregister the network protection service, and then re-register the network protection service with the new traffic processing mode and deploy new SVMs.

Proceed to the next step of the wizard.
