Configuring encryption of Mac devices

After you enabled encryption in several security profiles simultaneously, you can edit encryption settings in each security profile separately, as described in this section.

To edit encryption of devices running macOS:

  1. Open Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud Management Console.
  2. Select the Security managementSecurity profiles section.

    The Security profiles section contains a list of security profiles configured in Kaspersky Endpoint Security Cloud.

  3. In the list, select the security profile for the devices on which you want to configure encryption.
  4. Click the link with the profile name to open the security profile properties window.

    The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.

  5. In the Mac group, select the Management settingsEncryption section.
  6. If you want to turn the encryption module off without sending the actual command to encrypt or decrypt your users' devices, set the toggle switch to Encryption Management is disabled. This may be useful if you use a third-party encryption tool.
  7. Do either of the following:
    • To encrypt your users' devices, select the Encrypt devices option.
    • To decrypt your users' devices, select the Decrypt devices option.
  8. Click the Save button.

The specified encryption settings are saved.

The encryption and decryption of devices may take a long time. You can use the Encryption status of devices report to see the current encryption status.
