Mobile device protection levels
Mobile device protection levels defined by Kaspersky Security Center
Web Console lets you quickly assess the current protection level of managed mobile devices in the Assets (Devices) → Mobile → Devices section.
A device can have one of the following protection levels: OK, Warning, or Critical.
The protection levels are assigned and sent to Kaspersky Security Center, in accordance with the following requirements:
- One reason for assigning a protection level is detected on the device — the device gets the status displayed in the list of managed devices.
- Multiple reasons for assigning protection levels are detected on the device — Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management assigns the most critical status.
- No reasons for assigning a protection level are detected on the device — Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management does not send a status to Kaspersky Security Center, and the status is set as OK.

Mobile device protection levels defined by Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management
Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management defines the protection level of mobile devices based on policy settings and then sends the protection levels to Kaspersky Security Center during synchronization. The administrator can change the protection level in the policy, depending on the severity level of the condition (see the Default values, reasons, and conditions for assigning a protection level on Android devices table). In this case, the value set by the administrator overrides the default value defined by Kaspersky Mobile Devices Protection and Management.
