One of the following predefined security levels for the nodes selected either in the protected device's file resource tree or file resource list can be applied: Maximum performance, Recommended, and Maximum protection. Each of these levels contains its own predefined set of security settings (see the table below).
Maximum performance
The Maximum performance security level is recommended if your network has additional protected device security measures, for example, firewalls and existing security policies, beyond using Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on protected devices and work stations.
Recommended
The Recommended security level ensures the best combination of protection and performance impact on devices. Kaspersky experts recommend this level as adequate to protect devices on most corporate networks. The Recommended security level is set by default.
Maximum protection
The Maximum protection security level is recommended if your organization's network has elevated device security requirements.
