Configuring storage settings for control rules that govern unused applications

By default, control rules for applications that have not been started in 60 days are deleted automatically. You can change the storage duration for control rules for unused applications or disable the automatic deletion of rules.

To configure storage settings for unused application control rules in Kaspersky Security Center:

  1. Open Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
  2. In the Managed devices folder of the console tree, open the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant protected virtual machines belong.
  3. In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
  4. Select a Light Agent for Windows policy in the list of policies and open the Properties: <Policy name> by double-clicking.
  5. In the policy properties window, select the Application Privilege Control section in the list on the left.
  6. In the right part of the window, do one of the following:
    • If you want Kaspersky Security to delete control rules of unused applications after a specified amount of time, select the Delete rules for applications that are not started for more than check box and, in the field to the right, specify the amount of time (in days) to store control rules of unused applications.
    • If you want to disable automatic deletion of control rules for unused applications, clear the Delete rules for applications that are not started for more than check box.
  7. Click the Apply button.

To configure storage settings for unused application control rules in the local interface:

  1. On the protected virtual machine, open the application settings window.
  2. In the left part of the window, in the Endpoint control section, select Application Privilege Control.

    In the right part of the window, the Application Privilege Control component's settings are displayed.

    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.

  3. Do one of the following:
    • If you want Kaspersky Security to delete control rules of unused applications after a specified amount of time, select the Delete rules for applications that are not started for more than check box and, in the field to the right, specify the amount of time (in days) to store control rules of unused applications.
    • If you want to disable automatic deletion of control rules for unused applications, clear the Delete rules for applications that are not started for more than check box.
  4. To save changes, click the Save button.
