Configuring KSN usage

To configure the use of KSN services for the Applications Launch Control task:

1. Open the Task settings window.
2. On the General tab, in the KSN Usage section, specify the settings for use of KSN services:
   • If necessary, select the Deny applications untrusted by KSN check box.
     

     The check box either enables or disables Applications Launch Control according to application reputation data in KSN.

     If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security blocks any application from running if it is not trusted in KSN. Applications Launch Control allowing rules that apply to applications not trusted in KSN will not be triggered. Selecting the check box provides additional protection from malware.

     If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security does not consider the reputation of applications not trusted in KSN and allows or blocks start in accordance with the rules that apply to such applications.

     The check box is cleared by default.

   • If necessary, select the Allow applications trusted by KSN check box.
     

     The check box either enables or disables Applications Launch Control according to application reputation data in KSN.

     If this check box is selected, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security allows applications to run if they are trusted in KSN. Denying application launch control rules that apply to KSN-trusted applications have higher priority: if an application is trusted by KSN services, the application launch will be denied.

     If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security does not consider the reputation of KSN-trusted applications and allows or denies launch in accordance with rules that apply to such applications.

     The check box is cleared by default.

   • If the Allow applications trusted by KSN check box is selected, indicate the users and/or groups of users allowed to start applications trusted in KSN. To do this, perform the following actions:
     1. Click the Edit button.

        The standard Microsoft Windows Select users or groups window opens.

        By default, access to programs trusted in KSN is allowed to all users.

     2. Specify the list of users and/or user groups.
     3. Click OK.
3. Click OK in the Task settings window.

The specified settings are saved.
