Configuring the use of Kaspersky Security Network

Use of Kaspersky Security Network is configured in the policy settings. If KSN usage is enabled in the active policy of the KSC cluster, KSN services are used in the operation of Kaspersky Security during virtual machine protection and when executing virtual machine scan tasks.

If the policy with the enabled use of KSN is inactive, KSN services are not used in the operation of Kaspersky Security.

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

To configure the use of Kaspersky Security Network:

1. Open the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
2. In the console tree, perform one of the following actions:
   • If you want to configure the use of KSN for SVMs of one KSC cluster, in the Managed devices folder of the console tree select the administration group containing the KSC cluster.
   • If you want to configure the use of KSN for SVMs of all KSC clusters, select the Managed devices folder.
3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
4. Select a policy in the list of policies and double-click the policy to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
5. In the policy properties window, select the KSN settings section.
6. If you want the application to use Global KSN in its operations:
   1. Select the Use KSN check box.
   2. In the opened window, read the Kaspersky Security Network Statement.
   3. 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.
   4. 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 check box.
8. If you want the application to use Private KSN in its operations, select the Use Private KSN if it is configured in Kaspersky Security Center check box.

   If the use of Private KSN is not configured in Kaspersky Security Center, it is impossible to use Private KSN in the application. Use of Private KSN can be configured in the properties of the Administration Server of Kaspersky Security Center in the KSN proxy server section. Please see the Kaspersky Security Center documentation for details.

9. If you want to disable the use of Private KSN, clear the Use Private KSN if it is configured in Kaspersky Security Center check box.
10. In the Properties: <Policy name> window, click OK.
