Back to "Release Info"

Kaspersky Security 9.0 for Microsoft SharePoint Server Maintenance Release 3 was released on February 16, 2017. Full version number is 9.3.58811.0.

Improvements and new features

• Interaction with Kaspersky Security Center:
  • View information on the protection status of SharePoint servers (monitoring of the operation of the Anti-Virus, Anti-Phishing, and Content Filtering modules, connection to the SQL database, and other aspects of the application's operation).
  • View statistics on the application's operation on SharePoint servers.
  • Distribute update packages for the Anti-Virus and DLP Module databases to protected SharePoint servers whose network settings block connections to external network resources.
  • Monitor the versions of the Anti-Virus and DLP Module databases to make sure they are up-to-date.
  • Log information about the application's operation to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server Event Log.
• Select servers for simultaneous on-demand scan for the purpose of distributing the load and reducing the task completion time.
• Run an on-demand scan in incremental mode.
• Remove only the scanned infected versions of a file during an on-demand scan.
• Log the following events to the Windows Event Log:
  • On-demand scan tasks are started or stopped.
  • The application configuration is modified.
  • The status of application modules is changed.
  • Anti-Virus databases become outdated and there are errors when attempting to update them.
  • Other application events.
• Assign a user the KSH AV Operators or KSH AV Security Officers role for the purpose of restricting application access permissions.
• Track data leaks based on the following new categories: Personal identification (Russia), U.S. Federal Law FCRA, and U.S. Federal Law GLBA.
• Track data leaks based on the Document templates and Document quotations categories that can be configured by the user.  
• Add exclusions from scanning when tracking data leaks.
• Monitor the application's operation via System Center - Operations Manager.

Special considerations

• When archives are excluded from on-access scan, .docx files that contain viruses may be uploaded to the SharePoint server. The log will record that the file has been excluded from scanning.  
• Exclusions from anti-virus scan by masks do not apply to archived files. The application scans these files according to the general anti-virus scan settings.
• If a proxy server is used when updating databases from Kaspersky Lab servers, those databases cannot be updated via the proxy server when you change the update source to an FTP server.
• If the application is installed on several farm servers at once, error warnings are displayed when the anti-virus settings of the SharePoint server are updated. These messages can be ignored.
• The Kaspersky Security Network service will not work if the address of an inactive DNS server is specified in the settings of the primary network connection.

Main known issues

• If Kaspersky Security blocks a file that has been uploaded to a SharePoint server through Explorer View, several instances of this file are moved to Backup (if the file has been blocked by a virus scan), or several incidents are created (if the file has been blocked due to a possible data leak).
• When an attempt is made to download and save an infected file (by selecting Save as in Internet Explorer) attached to a calendar event, a message appears saying that the site cannot be opened.
• If an infected file has been uploaded to a SharePoint server through Explorer View and Kaspersky Security has blocked that file, all versions of that file are deleted from the SharePoint server.
