Managing Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes from Kaspersky Security Center

You can centrally manage several protected devices with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes installed and included in an administration group via the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes Administration Plug-in. Kaspersky Security Center can also separately configure each protected device in the administration group.

An administration group is created manually via Kaspersky Security Center. The group includes several devices with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes installed and for which you want to configure the same control and protection settings. For details on using administration groups, see Kaspersky Security Center Help.

Application settings for a single protected device are unavailable if the operation of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes on the protected device is controlled by an active Kaspersky Security Center policy.

Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes can be managed from Kaspersky Security Center in the following ways:

• Using Kaspersky Security Center policies. Kaspersky Security Center policies can be used to remotely define the same protection settings for a group of devices. Task settings specified in the active policy have priority over task settings configured locally in the Application Console or remotely in the Properties: <Protected device name> window of Kaspersky Security Center.

  You can use policies to configure general application settings, Real-Time Computer Protection task settings, Local Activity Control tasks settings, and scheduled local system task start settings.

• Using Kaspersky Security Center group tasks. Kaspersky Security Center group tasks allow remote configuration of common settings of tasks with an expiration period for a group of devices.

  You can use group tasks to activate the application, configure On-Demand Scan task settings, update task settings, and Rule Generator for Applications Launch Control task settings.

• Using tasks for a set of devices. Tasks for a set of devices allow remote configuration of common task settings with a limited execution period for protected devices that do not belong to any administration group.
• Using the properties window of a single device. In the Properties: <Protected device name> window, you can remotely configure the task settings for a single protected device included in an administration group. You can also configure both general application settings and settings for all Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Nodes tasks if the selected protected device is not controlled by an active Kaspersky Security Center policy.

Kaspersky Security Center allows you to configure application settings and advanced features, and also work with logs and notifications. You can configure these settings for a group of protected devices and for an individual protected device.
