ID 234873

The Behavior Detection task monitors malicious activity by applications in the operating system. When malicious activity is detected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security can terminate the process of the application that performs malicious activity.

If integration between Kaspersky Endpoint Security and Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response is enabled, exclusions by process are not applied.

By default, the Behavior Detection task starts automatically when the application starts. You can stop the task at any moment if necessary.
