Kaspersky Security 11.x for Windows Server

Using KSN for protection

June 10, 2022

ID 213124

Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) is an infrastructure of online services providing access to Kaspersky's online knowledge base on the reputation of files, web resources and programs.

You can enable or disable the KSN usage in the RPC Network Storage Protection task. After you enable or disable the KSN usage, the task starts or stops showing conclusions about the reputation of files being scanned based on information received from KSN.

To start the KSN Usage task, you must accept the KSN Statement. The KSN Usage task does not start automatically at start of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server by default.

To enable or disable KSN usage in the ICAP Network Storage Protection task:

  1. Open the ICAP-Network Storage Protection window.
  2. Go to the General tab and select or clear the Use KSN for protection check box.
    Close

    The check box enables or disables the use of Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) services in the ICAP Network Storage Protection task.

    If the check box is selected, the application uses Kaspersky Security Network data to ensure a faster response time by the application to new threats and reduces the likelihood of false positives.

    If the check box is cleared, the ICAP Network Storage Protection task does not use KSN services.

    The check box is selected by default.

  3. Click OK.

The newly configured settings are saved.
