Using Kaspersky Private Security Network

Kaspersky Private Security Network (hereinafter also referred to as KPSN) is a solution that grants access to the reputation databases of Kaspersky Security Network (KSN), without sending data from users' devices to Kaspersky Security Network.

A database of the reputations of objects (files or URLs) is stored on the Kaspersky Private Security Network server, but not on Kaspersky Security Network servers. KPSN reputation databases are stored within the corporate network and are managed by the company administrator.

When KPSN is enabled, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android does not send any statistical data from users' devices to KSN.

KPSN is applicable only for Android devices managed by Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Android. Kaspersky Security for iOS continues to send statistical data from users' devices to KSN.
