Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security 3.4 for Windows

Creating a rules XML file from Device Control task events

To secure the protected device, we recommend finalizing the list of Device Control rules before running the Device Control task in active mode. For this reason, we recommend collecting data on connections from controlled external devices in Device Control Statistics Only mode.

To create an XML file containing a list of device control rules based on Device Control events:

1. Enable Device Control Statistics Only mode.
2. Connect the controlled external devices you want to create Device Control rules for to the protected computer.
3. In the Application Console tree, in the results pane of the Device Control node, click Open task log link.
4. In the Logs window click Generate rules based on events.

   An Open window opens.

5. Specify the path where you want to save the XML file containing the Device Control rules.
6. In the field with the same name, enter the name of the XML file.
7. Click the Open button.

Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows creates an XML file at the specified path, containing a list of rules based on events registered by the Device Control task. You can use this file to add device control rules in the Device Control settings.
