This section provides information related to Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Windows. This information may be partially or completely inapplicable to Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux. For complete information about Kaspersky Endpoint Agent for Linux, please refer to the Help of the solution that includes the application: Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform or Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response.

To create an IOC Scan task from the incident card:

  1. Open the incident card.
  2. On the All incident events tab, select the items from which you want to create an IOC Scan task.
  3. Click the IOC Scan task creation button.
  4. Do one of the following:
    • If you want the compromise indicator to be triggered when any of the selected objects is detected, select OR (any IOC found) on the right side of the screen.
    • If you want the compromise indicator to be triggered when all the selected objects are detected, select AND (all IOC found) on the right side of the screen.
  5. In the Actions when IOC is found group of settings, select one of the following actions:
    • Isolate device from the network to enable network isolation of the device on which the indicator of compromise was detected by Kaspersky Endpoint Agent.
    • Quarantine and delete to quarantine the detected object and delete it from the device.
    • Run Endpoint Protection Platform scan of critical areas on the device to make Kaspersky Endpoint Agent send a command to the EPP application to scan critical areas on all the devices of the administration group on which the indicator of compromise was detected.
  6. Click Create task.

The default settings of the IOC Scan tasks created from the incident card are described in the following table. You can change these values in the settings of the created task.
