Updated:<\/strong> Current principles for the processing of user data by Kaspersky Lab security solutions and technologies can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to Kaspersky Lab data<\/a>, over 200,000<\/b> unique malicious samples emerge daily, meaning 2-3 malware objects appear each second<\/b>. Even an army of analysts can\u2019t manage that onslaught if they process it with traditional methods. That\u2019s why Kaspersky Lab invented another approach \u2013 instead of just hiring more and more people- we\u2019ve created a cloud-based processing center and distributed an antiviral network called Kaspersky Security Network<\/strong>. This powerful technology promptly detects new dangers on the net and protects every computer connected to KSN. It helps prevent epidemics and blocks the sources of infection in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

Kaspersky Security Network performs several important tasks: the global monitoring of suspicious activity on users computers, the instant delivery of this data (nothing confidential!) to Kaspersky Lab servers, the analysis of the information gathered and then decision making about either blocking dangerous files or adding them to an allowlist. To use this cloud-based service, users should have Kaspersky Lab products installed, e.g. Kaspersky Internet Security<\/a> and give consent to participate in KSN. The reward for participation will come almost immediately, as all computers connected to KSN receive information about new threats less than a minute after the first detection of those threats.<\/p>\n
