About the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app
The Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app ensures the protection of mobile devices against web threats, viruses, and other programs that pose threats.
The Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android includes the following features:
- Anti-Malware. This component detects and neutralizes threats on the device by using the anti-malware databases and the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service. Anti-Malware includes the following components:
- Protection. It detects threats in open files, scans new apps, and prevents device infection in real time.
- Scan. It is started on demand for the entire file system, only for installed apps, or only for a selected file or folder.
- Update. It lets you download new anti-malware databases for the app.
- Anti-Theft. This component protects the information on the device against unauthorized access in case the device is lost or stolen. This component lets you send the following commands to the device:
- Locate device. Get the coordinates of the device's location.
- Sound alarm. Make the device sound a loud alarm.
- Wipe corporate data. Erase corporate data to protect sensitive company information.
- Web Protection and Web Control. Web Protection blocks malicious websites designed to spread malicious code. Web Protection also blocks fake (phishing) websites designed to steal the user's confidential data (for example, passwords for online banking or e-money systems) and access the user's financial info. Web Protection uses the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service to scan websites before they open. After scanning, Web Protection allows trustworthy websites to load and blocks malicious websites. Web Control allows website filtering by categories defined in the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service. This lets the administrator restrict user access to certain categories of web pages (for example, Gambling, lotteries, sweepstakes or Internet communication).
- App Control. This component lets you install recommended and required apps to an Android device as well as remove blocked apps that violate corporate security requirements.
- Compliance Control. This component lets you check managed devices for compliance with corporate security requirements and impose restrictions on certain functions of non-compliant devices.
You can configure the components of the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android app in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console by defining the corresponding policy settings.
