Kaspersky Security maintains a continuous connection with the network attached storage and regularly initiates RPC requests. When an attempt is made to read or create/write to a file stored in a network attached storage, the latter provides Kaspersky Security direct access to the file using the CIFS protocol.

Documentation is available at Kaspersky security for storage and includes the Release Notes, Administrator Guide, Implementation Guide and User Guide SCWC.

The signature analysis threat detection technology uses Kaspersky Security databases that contain the descriptions of known threats and the methods of neutralizing them. Protection with signature analysis ensures the minimum admissible security level. This analysis method must always be enabled.

The heuristic analysis technology is intended for detection of threats that cannot be detected by using the current version of Kaspersky Lab applications databases. This technology can find files that might contain some unknown virus or a new modification of a known virus. Files in which malicious code is detected during heuristic analysis are marked as probably infected.
