For information about data provision when Light Agents use KSN, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.

If you use KSN in standard mode, you agree to automatically send the following data to Kaspersky:

  • Information necessary for scanning files: name and ID of the detected threat according to the Kaspersky classification, checksum of the scanned object or type of hash function, and the ID of the utilized anti-virus databases.
  • Information necessary for obtaining the reputation of web addresses: the scanned web address, type of connection protocol, utilized port number, and the web address from which the user was directed to the scanned web address.
  • General information: type and full version of the Kaspersky Security solution, information about solution components and about updates of the solution's application modules, and information about the operating system installed on the SVMs and protected virtual machines.

If you use KSN in Extended mode, you agree to automatically submit to Kaspersky all data listed in Kaspersky Security Network Statement. Files (or parts thereof) that could be exploited by hackers to harm the virtual machine or data stored in its operating system may also be sent to Kaspersky for analysis. Extended KSN is used by default. You can disable the use of extended KSN in the Protection Server policy properties.

You can view the text of the Kaspersky Security Network Statement in the Protection Server policy properties in the Kaspersky Security Network settings section.

For information about the storage, protection and destruction of statistical information that is obtained during the use of KSN and transmitted to Kaspersky, please refer to the Privacy Policy on Kaspersky website.

If you do not participate in Kaspersky Security Network, the data listed in the Kaspersky Security Network Statement is not transmitted to Kaspersky.
