Converting a security policy from a previous version of the application

If you want to import a file containing a saved security policy from a previous version of the application into the current version of the application, you need to convert this file by using the policy_updater.py policy conversation script. This script is located on the Server computer in the /opt/kaspersky/kics4net/sbin/ folder.

The policy_updater.py script is designed for converting security policies exported to Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks 3.1 and later.

To convert a file containing a security policy that was created in the previous version of the application:

1. Open the operating system console on the Server computer and go to the /opt/kaspersky/kics4net/sbin/ folder.
2. Enter the following command in the command line:

   python3 ./policy_updater.py -i <path to the file of the original policy> -o <path to the file of the converted policy>

   Example: python3 ./policy_updater.py -i /home/user1/policy_2023-09-01_12-00 -o /home/user1/policy_for_4_2

The obtained file can be imported into the current version of the application.
