Configuring the use of KSN in the Protection Server policy

You can configure the use of Global KSN in the settings of the Protection Server policy. If the use of KSN is enabled in the active policy for the Protection Server, Global KSN is used by Kaspersky Security both when protecting virtual machines and when performing scan tasks on virtual machines.

If the policy with enabled use of KSN is inactive, Global KSN is not used by Kaspersky Security.

If you want to use Kaspersky Security Network services with Kaspersky Security, make sure that the KSN Proxy service is enabled in Kaspersky Security Center (see Kaspersky Security Center manuals).

To configure the use of Global KSN:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, select the folder with the name of the administration group whose policy you want to edit.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Protection Server policy in the list of policies and right-click to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
  5. In the list on the left, select the KSN settings section.
  6. If you want to enable the use of Global KSN:
    1. Make sure that Global KSN is displayed in the KSN type field.

      You can select the type of KSN used by Kaspersky Security and configure the use of Private KSN in the properties of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server in the KSN proxy server section. See Kaspersky Security Center documentation for more information.

    2. Select the Use KSN to check files and web addresses check box.
    3. In the opened window, read the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.
    4. If you agree with all the terms of the Statement, select I have read, understand, and accept the terms of this Kaspersky Security Network Statement and click OK.
    5. By default, Global KSN is used in extended mode. The KSN mode affects the amount of data that is automatically transmitted to Kaspersky Lab when KSN is being used. If you want to disable the use of extended KSN, clear the Use extended KSN check box.
  7. If you want to disable the use of Global KSN, clear the Use KSN to check files and web addresses check box.
  8. Click the Apply button.
