Configuring security settings in Kaspersky Security Center

To configure security settings manually:

1. Expand the Managed devices node in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree.
2. Select the administration group for which you want to configure application settings.
3. Perform one of the following actions in the details pane of the selected administration group:
   • To configure application settings for a group of protected devices, select the Policies tab and open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
   • To configure the application for a single protected device, select the Devices tab and open the Application settings window.

     If an active Kaspersky Security Center policy is applied to a device and blocks changes to application settings, then these settings cannot be edited in the Application settings window.

4. In the Application settings section, click the Settings button in the Security and reliability subsection.
5. In the Security settings window, configure the following settings:
   • In the Self-defense section, enable or disable the Protect application processes from external threats option.
     

     If the Protect application processes from external threats check box is selected, the application protects its processes against code injection or accessing of processes data.

     When enabling or disabling the option, no need to restart the application services for changes to apply.

     The option is enabled by default.

   • In the Self-defense section, set a password to protect access to Kaspersky Security for Windows Server functions.
   • In the Password protection settings section, configure the settings for recovery of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks when the application returns an error or terminates.
     • Perform task recovery
       

       This check box enables or disables the recovery of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks when the application returns an error or terminates.

       If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server automatically recovers Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks when the application returns an error or terminates.

       If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not recover Kaspersky Security for Windows Server tasks when the application returns an error or terminates.

       The check box is selected by default.

       This check box enables or disables the start of a scheduled scan task after the protected device switches to a UPS source until the standard power supply is restored.

       If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server does not start scheduled scan tasks after the protected device switches to a UPS source until the standard power supply is restored.

       If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server starts scheduled scan tasks regardless of the power supply.

       The check box is selected by default.

     • Stop current scan tasks
       

       The check box enables or disables running scan tasks after the protected device switches to a UPS source.

       If the check box is selected, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server pauses running scan tasks after the protected device switches to a UPS source.

       If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Security for Windows Server continues running scan tasks after the protected device switches to a UPS source.

       The check box is selected by default.

   • In the Self-defense section, set a password to protect access to Kaspersky Security for Windows Server functions.
