Configuring Data Processing

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 settings of a task or application for an individual protected device, select the Devices tab and go to local task settings or application settings.
4. In the Real-Time Computer Protection section click the Data processing button in the KSN Usage subsection.

   The KSN data handling window opens.

5. Read the KSN Statement (or the KPSN Statement if you are using KSN Local).
6. If you accept the terms of the KSN Statement, select the I accept the terms of participation in Kaspersky Security Network check box.
   

   If the check box is selected, you accept the terms of participation in Kaspersky Security Network.

   If the check box is cleared, the KSN Statement is not accepted and the KSN Usage task cannot be started. No data is sent to KSN. Dependent check boxes Send data about scanned files and Send Kaspersky Security Network statistics are disabled.

   By default, the check box is cleared.

   Note, that the check box will be automatically cleared, even if you have already accepted the KSN Statement before, in the following cases:

   • after the application version update
   • switching to Private KSN
   • switching from Private KSN to Global KSN services

   Accept the KSN Statement again, to enable KSN services.

7. To increase the protection level, the following check boxes are selected by default:
   • Send data about scanned files
     

     If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes 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 Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes 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 Kaspersky Security Network statistics
     

     If the check box is selected the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes sends additional statistics, which may contain personal data. 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 Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes does not send additional statistics.

     The check box is selected by default.

   If you accepted the KSN Statement, the Send data about scanned files and Send Kaspersky Security Network statistics check boxes will be unavailable.

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

   The check boxes are editable only if the KSN Statement is accepted.
