By selecting this option, you decline to use Kaspersky Security Network. |
|
Extended KSN mode |
By selecting this option, you accept the terms of using Kaspersky Security Network. You will be able to receive information from Kaspersky online knowledge base about the reputation of files, web resources, and software. Also, anonymous statistics and information about the types and sources of various threats will be sent to Kaspersky to improve Kaspersky Security Network. |
|
Basic KSN mode |

|
Enable cloud mode |
The check box enables or disables the operating mode in which Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses a lightweight version of the malware databases. The check box is available if use of KSN is enabled. The check box is selected if, when creating a policy, you accepted the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement and are using KSN in extended mode. The mode is enabled or disabled after the next application database update. This setting applies only if the application is used in Standard mode. |
|
Use Administration Server as a KSN proxy server |
If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security communicates with KSN servers using the KSN Proxy service on the Administration Server. The check box is selected by default. If you want to use the Kaspersky Private Security Network (KPSN) infrastructure solution, the use of a KSN proxy server must be enabled. Direct interaction with KSN is not supported.
This setting applies only if the application is used in Standard mode. In Light Agent mode for protecting virtual environments, the application can only communicate with the KSN infrastructure through a KSN proxy server. |
|
Use KSN servers when KSN Proxy is not available |
If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Endpoint Security communicates with KSN servers directly when the KSN Proxy service is unavailable. The check box is selected by default. This check box is available if the Use Administration Server as a KSN proxy server check box is selected. This setting applies only if the application is used in Standard mode. |
