Kaspersky Web Traffic Security

Kaspersky Web Traffic Security (hereinafter also referred to as "the application" or "KWTS") is a solution designed for protecting HTTP-, HTTPS-, and FTP traffic passing through a proxy server.

The application protects users of a corporate network when accessing web resources. For example, it deletes malware and other threats from the data stream that enters the corporate network via the HTTP(S) and FTP protocols, blocks infected and phishing websites, and controls access to web resources based on web resource categories and content types.

The application is developed for corporate users.
