Clearing the current security policy

You can clear the current settings that are part of a security policy. This can be done for the entire security policy or for some of its individual sections.

After a security policy is cleared, it will be impossible to recover some of its data even if you exported the security policy in advance. For example, after you clear a section containing device information, all the objects linking events and devices in the devices table are permanently deleted.

A security policy cannot be cleared if updates are currently being installed or if the data import process is running.

Only users with the Administrator role can clear a security policy.

To clear a security policy:

1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
2. Select Settings → Security policy.
3. Click the Clear button.

   You will see the security policy tree in which you can select the relevant sections to clear.

4. Select the check boxes of the security policy sections that you want to clear.
5. Click the Clear button.

The security policy clearing process begins. The Application Server is unavailable for connections until the clearing process is complete. During the clearing process, the application web interface page displays a special section named Application maintenance.
