An update source is a resource that contains updates for databases and application modules of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. Update sources include FTP or HTTP servers (such as Kaspersky Security Center and Kaspersky update servers) and local or network directories mounted by the user.
In the predefined update task, the default source of updates are the Kaspersky update servers. The update servers contain updates for databases and application modules for many Kaspersky applications. Updates are downloaded via HTTPS protocol.
If, for some reason, you are not able to use the Kaspersky update servers as the update source, you can receive updates from a custom update source such as a local or network directory (SMB/NFS) mounted by the user, or an FTP or HTTP server specified by you. You can specify a custom update source in the configuration file of the update task.
