Conditions for protection of virtual machines against network threats

One SVM with the Network Threat Detection component deployed on a VMware ESXi hypervisor protects all the virtual machines on that hypervisor that meet the following conditions:

• The virtual machine is part of an NSX Security Group configured in the VMware vSphere Web Client console.
• This group is assigned an NSX Security Policy in which the use of the network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection) is configured and redirection of traffic to the network protection service is enabled (Redirect to service setting).

The Network Threat Detection component can scan outbound and/or inbound traffic of virtual machines. You can specify which traffic should be scanned in the NSX Security Policy in which the use of the network protection service (Kaspersky Network Protection) is configured. An NSX Security Policy configuration is performed in the VMware vSphere Web Client console.
