Kaspersky Security 11.x for Windows Server

About predefined security levels

June 10, 2022

ID 148447

The Use iChecker technology, Use iSwift technology, Use heuristic analyzer, and Check Microsoft signature in files security settings are not included in the settings for the preset security levels. If the Use iChecker technology, Use iSwift technology, Use heuristic analyzer, and Check Microsoft signature in files settings change, the preset security level you have selected will not change.

You can apply one of the following three predefined security levels to a node selected in the device's file resource tree: Maximum performance, Recommended, or Maximum protection. Each of these levels contains its own predefined security settings (see the table below).

Maximum performance

The Maximum performance security level is recommended if your network has additional protected device security measures, for example, firewalls and existing security policies, beyond using Kaspersky Security for Windows Server on protected devices and work stations.

Recommended

The Recommended security level ensures the best combination of protection and performance impact on devices. Kaspersky experts recommend this level as adequate to protect devices on most corporate networks. The Recommended security level is set by default.

Maximum protection

The Maximum protection security level is recommended if your organization's network has elevated device security requirements.
