Adding trusted processes

You can add a process to the list of trusted processes using one of the following methods:

To add one or more processes to the list of trusted processes:

  1. In the Application Console tree, open the context menu of the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes node.
  2. Select the Configure Trusted Zone settings menu option.

    The Trusted Zone window opens.

  3. Select the Trusted processes tab.
  4. Select the Do not check file backup operations check box to skip scanning of file read operations.
  5. Select the Do not check file activity of the specified processes check box to skip file operation scanning for trusted processes.
  6. To add prcesses to the list of trusted processes, do one of the following:
    • To import preconfigured trusted processes, click the Import button and, in the window that opens, select the configuration file in XML format stored on your device.

      Processes from the XML file will be added to the list of trusted processes.

    • To manually specify the processes, click the Add button and proceed to the next steps.
  7. If you clicked the Add button, in the button's context menu, select one of the options:
    • Multiple processes.

      In the Adding trusted processes window that opens, configure the following:

      1. Use full process path on disk to consider it trusted.
      2. Use process file hash to consider it trusted.
      3. Click the Browse button to add data based on executable processes.
      4. Select an executable file in the window that opens.

        You can only add one executable file at a time. Repeat steps c-d to add other executable files.

      5. Click the Processes button to add data based on running processes.
      6. Select processes in the window that opens. To select multiple processes, press and hold the CTRL button while selecting.
      7. Click OK.

        The account under which the Real-Time File Protection task is run must have administrator rights on the device with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes installed in order to allow viewing of the list of active processes. You can sort processes in the list of active processes by file name, process identifier (PID), or path to the executable file of the process on the protected device. Note, that you can select running processes by clicking the Processes button only using the Application Console on a protected device or in the specified host settings via the Kaspersky Security Center.

    • One process based on file name and path.

      In the Adding a process window that opens, do the following:

      1. Enter a path to an executable file (including the file name).

        When specifying the objects, you can use names masks (via ? and * characters) and all types of environment variables. The resolving of environment variables (replacing variables with their values) is performed by Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes when starting a task, or when applying new settings to a running task (not applicable to On-Demand Scan tasks). Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes resolves environment variables under the account used to start the task. For more information on environment variables, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

      2. Click OK.
    • One process based on object properties.

      In the Trusted process adding window that opens, configure the following:

      1. Click the Browse button to select a process.
      2. Use full process path on disk to consider it trusted.
      3. Use process file hash to consider it trusted.
      4. Click OK.

      To add the selected process to the list of trusted processes, at least one trust criterion must be selected.

  8. In the Trusted Zone window, click the OK button.

The selected file or process will be added to the list of trusted processes in the Trusted Zone window.
