Configuring security settings

By default, On-Demand Scan tasks use common security settings for the entire scan scope.

These settings correspond to the Recommended predefined security level.

The default values of security settings can be modified by configuring them as common settings for the entire scan scope or as different settings for different items in the protected device's file resource list or nodes in the tree.

When working with the network file resource tree, security settings that are configured for the selected parent node are automatically applied to all child nodes. The security settings of the parent node are not applied to child nodes that are configured separately.

To manually configure security settings:

1. Open the Scan scope settings window.
2. In the left part of the window, select the node or item whose security settings you want to configure.

   A predefined security settings template can be applied for a selected node or item in the scan scope.

   In the left part of the window, you can select the view for network file resources, create a scan scope, or create a virtual scan scope.

3. In the right part of the window, do one of the following:
   • On the Security level tab select the security level to be applied.
   • On the following tabs configure the security settings of the selected node or item in accordance with your requirements:
     • General
     • Actions
     • Performance
     • Hierarchical storage
4. Click the Save button in the Scan scope settings window.

The new scan scope settings are saved.
