To enable exclusions from protection of shared folders against external encryption, you must enable auditing of successful attempts to log in to the system (select the Success check box for the "Audit Logon" setting) in the Windows security policy. For details, please visit the Microsoft website.
You can exclude remote device from protection of shared folders against external encryption by adding the name or IP address of the remote device to the exclusion list. The application will not monitor network activity from this device in relation to shared folders.
If you added the address of a remote device that accessed shared folders before Kaspersky Security was started to the list of exclusions from shared folder protection, the exclusion will not be applied for this device. You need to restart this device after starting Kaspersky Security to disregard the network activity from this device during protection of shared folders against external encryption.
You can also exclude an individual folder from protection of shared folders against external encryption. To do so, you need to configure a folder exclusion to be used by the System Watcher component. Exclusions are configured in the General protection settings section.
To use Kaspersky Security Center to exclude a remote device from protection of shared folders against external encryption:
To use the local interface to exclude a remote device from protection of shared folders against external encryption:
In the right part of the window, the System Watcher component’s settings are displayed.
The Settings window opens.
If the settings in the local interface are not available, this means that the values of settings defined by the policy are used for all protected virtual machines of the administration group.
