Switching between security profile modes

When configuring device protection, you can use two modes of a security profile:

• Old mode

  You define settings for every desktop platform (Windows, macOS, and Linux) separately. As a result, settings of a single feature (for example, File Threat Protection) may differ for various platforms.

  This mode allows you to define more granular settings of your security profiles.

• New mode

  You define identical settings for all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux) at once, without having to switch between platforms.

  This mode saves your time that is required for configuring the protection of users' devices.

At any time, you can switch between modes of a security profile.

To switch from the old mode to the new mode:

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

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

3. In the list, open the required security profile that has the Old value in the View mode column.
4. Enable the New mode toggle switch.
5. In the Try the New mode window that opens, click the Try now button.

   The Review changes wizard starts. The wizard displays values that are different between platforms, and unified values that will be set after the mode is switched. If there are no changes in the settings between platforms, the wizard is not displayed.

   Proceed through the wizard by using the Next button.

6. At the What's next step of the wizard, select what you want to do with the changes made to the selected security profile:
   • Save profile in New mode

     Select this option if you are satisfied with the changes made during the mode switching.

   • Preview the security profile in New mode before saving

     Select this option if you want to make other changes to the security profile before saving the new settings.

   • Discard changes and stay in Old mode

     Select this option if you want to reject the mode switching.

   Click the Finish button.

   The Review changes wizard closes.

7. If you choose the Preview the security profile in New mode before saving option, make other changes to the security profile, and then click the Save and close button.

Unless you choose the Discard changes and stay in Old mode option, the security profile mode is switched to the new one.

To switch from the new mode to the old mode:

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

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

3. In the list, open the required security profile that has the New value in the View mode column.
4. Disable the New mode toggle switch.
5. If necessary, make other changes to the security profile.
6. Click the Save and close button.

The security profile mode is switched to the old one.
