Application components and their purpose

Kaspersky Security consists of three basic components:

• The Security Server is installed on the Microsoft Exchange server and is responsible for protection against viruses and filtering of mail traffic against spam and phishing content. Security Server intercepts messages coming to the Microsoft Exchange Server and scans them for viruses, spam and phishing content using embedded Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam modules, respectively. If an incoming message is infected with a virus or if a message contains indicators of spam or phishing links, the application takes the actions defined in the settings of the corresponding module.
• The Management Console is a dedicated isolated snap-in integrated into Microsoft Management Console 3.0. You can use the Management Console to create and edit the list of protected Microsoft Exchange servers and manage Security Servers. The Management Console can be installed both on a Microsoft Exchange server with the Security Server and on a remote computer.
• The Kaspersky Security for Microsoft Exchange Servers administration plug-in includes libraries allowing you to manage a protected object through Kaspersky Security Center.
