Disabling encryption

If you do not need to manage encryption of your users' devices any longer, you can disable encryption, as described in this section. The devices will also be decrypted.

As an alternative, you can decrypt devices, without disabling encryption.

To disable encryption by using the list of security profiles:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.

4. Click the link with the profile name to open the security profile properties window.

   The security profile properties window displays settings available for all devices.
