for Windows and macOS
The Network Threat Protection component (also called Intrusion Detection System, IDS) monitors inbound network traffic for activity characteristic of network attacks. When the application detects an attempted network attack on the user's computer, it blocks the network connection with the attacking computer. Descriptions of currently known types of network attacks and ways to counteract them are provided in the application databases. The list of network attacks that the Network Threat Protection component detects is updated during database and application module updates.

Action on threat detection |

Block. When a threat is detected, Network Threat Protection blocks the attack. Block attack and attacking device for (min). If the option is enabled, the Network Threat Protection component adds the attacking computer to the blocked list. This means that the Network Threat Protection component blocks the network connection with the attacking computer after the first network attack attempt for the specified amount of time. This block automatically protects the user's computer against possible future network attacks from the same address. The minimum time an attacking computer must spend in the block list is one minute. The maximum time is 999 minutes. Kaspersky Endpoint Security clears the block list when the application is restarted and when the Network Threat Protection settings are changed. |
