Managing policies
A policy is a collection of application settings that are defined for an administration group. You can configure multiple policies with different values for one application. An application can run under different settings for different administration groups. Each administration group can have its own policy for an application.
Policy settings are sent to client computers by Network Agent during synchronization. By default, the Administration Server performs synchronization immediately after policy settings are changed. UDP port 15000 on the client computer is used for synchronization. The Administration Server performs synchronization every 15 minutes by default. If synchronization fails after policy settings were changed, the next synchronization attempt will be performed according to the configured schedule.
Active and inactive policy
A policy is intended for a group of managed computers and can be active or inactive. The settings of an active policy are saved on client computers during synchronization. You cannot simultaneously apply multiple policies to one computer, therefore only one policy may be active in each group.
You can create an unlimited number of inactive policies. An inactive policy does not affect application settings on computers in the network. Inactive policies are intended as preparations for emergency situations, such as a virus attack. If there is an attack via flash drives, you can activate a policy that blocks access to flash drives. In this case, the active policy automatically becomes inactive.
Out-of-office policy
An out-of-office policy is activated when a computer leaves the organization network perimeter.
Settings inheritance
Policies, like administration groups, are arranged in a hierarchy. By default, a child policy inherits settings from the parent policy. Child policy is a policy for nested hierarchy levels, that is a policy for nested administration groups and secondary Administration Servers. You can disable the inheritance of settings from the parent policy.
Each policy setting has the attribute, which indicates if the settings can be modified in the child policies or in the local application settings. The
attribute is applicable only if inheritance of parent policy settings is enabled for the child policy. Out-of-office policies do not affect other policies through the hierarchy of administration groups.
Settings inheritance
The rights to access policy settings (read, write, execute) are specified for each user who has access to the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server and separately for each functional scope of Kaspersky Endpoint Security. To configure the rights to access policy settings, go to the Security section of the properties window of the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.
Creating a policy
How to create a policy in the Administration Console (MMC)
- Open the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.
- In the Managed devices folder in the Administration Console tree, select the folder with the name of the administration group to which the relevant client computers belong.
- In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
- Click the New policy button.
The Policy Wizard starts.
- Follow the instructions of the Policy Wizard.
How to create a policy in the Web Console and Cloud Console
- In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Policies & Profiles.
- Click the Add button.
The Policy Wizard starts.
- Select Kaspersky Endpoint Security and click Next.
- Please read and accept the terms of the Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) Statement and click Next.
- On the General tab, you can perform the following actions:
- Change the policy name.
- Select the policy status:
- Active. After the next synchronization, the policy will be used as the active policy on the computer.
- Inactive. Backup policy. If necessary, an inactive policy can be switched to active status.
- Out-of-office. The policy is activated when a computer leaves the organization network perimeter.
- Configure the inheritance of settings:
- Inherit settings from parent policy. If this toggle button is switched on, the policy setting values are inherited from the top-level policy. Policy settings cannot be edited if
is set for the parent policy.
- Force inheritance of settings in child policies. If the toggle button is on, the values of the policy settings are propagated to the child policies. In the properties of the child policy, the Inherit settings from parent policy toggle button will be automatically switched on and cannot be switched off. Child policy settings are inherited from the parent policy, except for the settings marked with
. Child policy settings cannot be edited if
is set for the parent policy.
- Inherit settings from parent policy. If this toggle button is switched on, the policy setting values are inherited from the top-level policy. Policy settings cannot be edited if
- On the Application settings tab, you can configure the Kaspersky Endpoint Security policy settings.
- Save your changes.
As a result, Kaspersky Endpoint Security settings will be configured on client computers during the next synchronization. You can view information about the policy that is being applied to the computer in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security interface by clicking the button on the main screen (for example, the policy name). To do so, in the settings of the Network Agent policy, you need to enable the receipt of extended policy data. For more details about a Network Agent policy, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help.
Security level indicator
The security level indicator is displayed in the upper part of the Properties: <Policy name> window. The indicator can take one of the following values:
- High protection level. The indicator takes this value and turns green if all components from the following categories are enabled:
- Critical. This category includes the following components:
- File Threat Protection.
- Behavior Detection.
- Exploit Prevention.
- Remediation Engine.
- Important. This category includes the following components:
- Kaspersky Security Network.
- Web Threat Protection.
- Mail Threat Protection.
- Host Intrusion Prevention.
- Critical. This category includes the following components:
- Medium protection level. The indicator takes this value and turns yellow if one of the important components is disabled.
- Low protection level. The indicator takes this value and turns red in one of the following cases:
- One or multiple critical components are disabled.
- Two ore more important components are disabled.
If the indicator has the Medium protection level or Low protection level value, a link that opens the Advanced settings window appears to the right of the indicator. In this window, you can enable any of the recommended protection components.
