Configuring data handling

To configure what data will be processed by the KSN services and accept the KSN Statement:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the application for a single protected device, select the Devices tab and open the Application settings window.

     If an active Kaspersky Security Center policy is applied to a device and blocks changes to application settings, then these settings cannot be edited in the Application settings window.

4. In the Real-time Server Protection section click the Data processing button in the KSN Usage subsection.

   The KSN data handling window opens.

6. To increase the protection level, the following check boxes are automatically selected:
   • Send data about scanned files.
     

     If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server sends the checksum of scanned files to the Kaspersky. Conclusion about each file security is based on the reputation received from KSN.

     If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not send checksum of files to KSN.

     Note, than the file reputation requests might be sent in a limited mode. The limitations are used for protection of the Kaspersky reputation servers from the DDoS attacks. In this scenario, the parameters of file reputation requests, that are being sent, are defined by the rules and methods established by the Kaspersky experts and cannot be configured by user on a protected device. Updates of these rules and methods are received along with the application database updates. If the limitations are applied, the enabled by Kaspersky for protecting KSN servers against DDoS status is displayed in the KSN Usage task statistics.

     The check box is selected by default.

   • Send data about scanned URLs.
     

     If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server sends the data about requested web resources, including web addresses, to the Kaspersky. Conclusion about the requested web resource security is based on the reputation received from KSN.

     If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not check URLs reputation in KSN.

     The check box is selected by default.

     The check box influences the Traffic Security task configuration.

   You can clear these check boxes and stop sending additional data at any moment.

The list of all data, that is sent as KSN statistics, is specified in the KSN Statement. The data received by Kaspersky is used to improve the quality of applications and level of threat detection rates.

   If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not send additional statistics.

   The check box is selected by default.

8. On the Kaspersky Managed Protection tab, read the Statement and select the Accept the terms of the Kaspersky Managed Protection Statement check box.

   The check box is cleared by default.

   The changes of Accept the terms of the Kaspersky Managed Protection Statement check box state do not start or stop the processing of data immediately. To apply the changes you must restart Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.
