Configuring the File Threat Protection component on Mac devices

The File Threat Protection component allows you to avoid infecting the file system on your computer and protects the computer's file system in real time by intercepting and analyzing attempts to access files. By default, this component starts when the security application is started on the device. File Threat Protection permanently resides in the computer's RAM and scans all files that are opened, saved, and run on the computer and on all connected drives. If the File Threat Protection component is disabled, it will not run when the application starts and you will have to manually enable it.

To configure the File Threat Protection component on Mac devices:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
2. Select the Security management → Security profiles section.

   The Security profiles section contains a list of security profiles configured in Kaspersky Next.

3. In the list, select the security profile for the devices on which you want to configure the File Threat Protection component.
4. Click the link with the profile name to open the security profile properties window.

   The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.

5. In the Mac group, select the Security settings section.
6. Set the toggle switch to File Threat Protection is enabled.
7. Click the Settings link below the File Threat Protection is enabled toggle switch.

   The File Threat Protection component settings page opens.

8. In the Security level section, select the security level whose settings meet your requirements for protection of Mac devices.

   The settings of the security level selected will be displayed under the list of levels.

9. Click the Save button to save the changes.

After the security profile is applied, File Threat Protection will be enabled on users' Mac devices. The component will protect the file system of the Mac device according to the specified settings.
