Information exchange with Kaspersky Security Network
Information exchange in Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android
To improve real-time protection, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android uses the Kaspersky Security Network cloud service for the following components:
- Anti-malware. The app obtains access to the Kaspersky knowledge base regarding the reputation of files and apps. The app scans for threats whose information has not yet been added to anti-malware databases but is already available in KSN. Kaspersky Security Network cloud service facilitates the full Anti-Malware functionality and reduces the likelihood of false alarms.
- Web Protection and Web Control. The app uses data received from KSN to scan websites before they are opened. The app also determines the website category to control internet users' access based on lists of allowed and blocked categories (for example, the "Internet communication" category).
- App Control. The app determines the app category to restrict the startup of apps that do not meet corporate security requirements based on lists of allowed and blocked categories (for example, the "Games" category).
Information on the types of data submitted to Kaspersky when using KSN during operation of Anti-Malware and App Control is available in the End User License Agreement. By accepting the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, you agree to transfer this information.
Information on the types of data submitted to Kaspersky when using KSN during operation of Web Protection and Web Control is available in the Statement regarding data processing for Web Protection. By accepting the terms and conditions of the Statement, you agree to transfer this information.
