Protecting Android devices on the internet

You can use Web Protection to protect personal data of mobile device users on the internet. Web Protection blocks malicious websites that distribute malicious code, and phishing websites designed to steal your confidential data and gain access to your financial accounts. Web Protection scans websites before you open them using the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service. Web Protection is enabled by default.

In Yandex Browser and Samsung Internet, malicious and phishing websites may remain unblocked. This is because only the website domain is scanned, and if it is trusted, Web Protection can skip a threat.

Web Protection on Android devices is supported only in Google Chrome, HUAWEI Browser, Samsung Internet, and Yandex Browser.

On corporate devices, if Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android is not enabled as an Accessibility feature, Web Protection is supported only in Google Chrome and checks only the domain of a website. To allow other browsers (Samsung Internet, Yandex Browser, and HUAWEI Browser) to support Web Protection, enable Kaspersky Endpoint Security as an Accessibility feature.

To enable Web Protection:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Policies & profiles. In the list of group policies that opens, click the name of the policy that you want to configure.
2. In the policy properties window, select Application settings.
3. Select Android and go to the Protection section.
4. On the Web Protection card, enable the settings using the Web Protection toggle switch.
5. Click Enable.

   If you disable Web Protection, Web Control will also be disabled.

Mobile device settings are changed after the next device synchronization with Kaspersky Security Center.
