Web Protection

The following conditions must be met to enable Web Protection:

• The Statement regarding data processing for the purpose of using Web Protection (Web Protection Statement) must be accepted. Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) to scan websites. The Web Protection Statement contains the terms of data exchange with KSN.

  Your administrator can accept the Web Protection Statement for you in Kaspersky Security Center. In this case, you are not required to take any action.

  If your administrator has not accepted the Web Protection Statement and has sent you the request to do this, you must read and accept the Web Protection Statement in the app settings.

  If your administrator has not accepted the Web Protection Statement, Web Protection is not available.

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

If the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app on a corporate device is not enabled as an Accessibility Features service, Web Protection is supported only by the Google Chrome browser and checks only the domain of a website. To allow other browsers (Samsung Internet, Yandex Browser, and HUAWEI Browser) support Web Protection, enable Kaspersky Endpoint Security as an Accessibility Features service. This will also enable the Custom Tabs feature operation.

The Custom Tabs feature is supported by Google Chrome, HUAWEI Browser, and Samsung Internet.

To use Web Protection in Telegram, disable opening links in the In-App Telegram browser in Telegram settings.

Web Protection for HUAWEI Browser, Samsung Internet, and Yandex Browser does not block sites on a mobile device if a corporate container is used and Web Protection is enabled only for the corporate container.

To use Web Protection at all times when you browse the web, set Google Chrome, HUAWEI Browser, Samsung Internet, or Yandex Browser as the default browser.

To set a supported browser as the default browser and use Web Protection for website scanning at all times:

1. In the main window of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, tap Settings → App settings → Web Protection.
2. Switch the Web Protection toggle button to On.
3. Tap Set default browser.

   This button is displayed when Web Protection is enabled and a supported browser has not been set as the default browser.

   The default browser selection wizard starts.

4. Follow the wizard instructions.

The wizard sets Google Chrome, HUAWEI Browser, or Samsung Internet as the default browser. Web Protection continuously scans websites while you browse the web.

Scanning notifications from messengers

Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android can detect malicious and phishing URLs in notifications from Telegram, WhatsApp, the default SMS app, and other common messengers. Only URLs expressed as text directly in the notification text can be scanned. URLs embedded in markup are not scanned.

The following conditions must be met to enable notification scanning:

• Web Protection must be enabled.
• Displaying notifications must be allowed for the desired messengers. Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android scans only notifications that can be displayed on the device screen.
• On Google Pixel and Vivo devices, the "Conversations" permission must be granted to Kaspersky Endpoint Security in the notification access settings.

To allow access to notifications so the app can scan them:

• In the main window of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, tap Settings → App settings → Web Protection.

1. Turn on the Block notifications that contain malicious and phishing URLs toggle switch.

   The Notification access required window opens.

2. Tap Continue.

   The corresponding settings section opens.

3. Turn on the Kaspersky Endpoint Security toggle switch.
4. In the dialog that opens, allow the app to read all your notifications.
5. Go back to Kaspersky Endpoint Security.

The app now scans notifications to detect malicious and phishing URLs. If a dangerous URL is found, the notification is blocked and a blocking screen with information about the blocked notification appears.

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android is not enabled as an Accessibility feature, the app sends a push notification about the detected dangerous URLs instead of displaying a blocking screen. After tapping the push notification, a screen with information about the blocked notification appears.
