Web Threat Protection

While the Web Threat Protection component is running, Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans inbound traffic and prevents downloads of malicious files from the Internet and also blocks phishing, adware, or other malicious websites.

This feature is not supported in the KESL container.

The application scans HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic. Also, the application scans websites and IP addresses. You can specify the network ports or network port ranges to be monitored.

To monitor HTTPS traffic, enable encrypted connection scans. To monitor FTP traffic, select the Monitor all network ports check box.

Trusted web addresses

This group of settings contains the Configure button, which opens the Trusted web addresses window, where you can specify the list of trusted web addresses. Kaspersky Endpoint Security will not scan the contents of websites whose web addresses are included in this list.

Action on threat detection

Action that the application performs on a web resource where a dangerous object is detected:

  • Block access to all dangerous objects detected in web traffic, display a notification about the blocked access attempts, and log information about the dangerous objects (default value).
  • Inform the user when a dangerous object is detected in web traffic. Web Threat Protection allows this object to be downloaded to the device. At that, the application logs the information about the dangerous object and adds it to the list of active threats.
