Enabling and disabling BadUSB Attack Prevention

USB devices identified by the operating system as keyboards and connected to the computer before installation of the BadUSB Attack Prevention component are considered authorized after installation of the component.

To enable or disable BadUSB Attack Prevention:

1. In the lower part of the main application window, click the button.
2. In the application settings window, select Protection → Essential Threat Protection → BadUSB Attack Prevention.
3. Use the BadUSB Attack Prevention toggle to enable or disable the component.

As a result, if BadUSB Attack Prevention is enabled, Kaspersky Endpoint Security requires authorization of a connected USB device identified as a keyboard by the operating system. The user cannot use an unauthorized keyboard until it is authorized.
