Cloud mode is an operating mode of Kaspersky Endpoint Security that uses a lightweight version of the malware databases.
If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode for protecting virtual environments, use of the lightweight malware databases is not supported. Kaspersky Endpoint Security receives special databases necessary for the operation of the Light Agent from the Protection Server.
Cloud mode is available if use of Kaspersky Security Network is enabled.
To enable cloud mode, run the following command:
kesl-control --set-app-settings CloudMode=Yes
Kaspersky Endpoint Security switches to using a lightweight version of the malware databases after enabling cloud mode and performing the latest update of the application databases and modules.
To disable cloud mode, run the following command:
kesl-control --set-app-settings CloudMode=No
Kaspersky Endpoint Security downloads the full version of the application databases from Kaspersky servers during the next update of application databases and modules.
You can also enable or disable cloud mode using the configuration file.
If you plan to use cloud mode, make sure KSN is available on your device.
