Configuring password protection of Network Agent

You can set password protection for Network Agent, to protect it from accidental removal from your users' devices and to maintain proper operation of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows on the devices.

This setting is applied to all of the managed devices simultaneously.

If you lost or forgot the password from the password-protected Network Agent installed on the device that is no longer under the management of Kaspersky Next, you cannot remove Network Agent from the device. In this case, you have to reinstall the operating system on the device with the installed password-protected Network Agent.

To configure password protection of Network Agent on your users' devices:

1. Open Kaspersky Next Management Console.
2. Select the Settings section.

   The General settings of Kaspersky Next page is displayed.

3. Click the Settings link in the Network Agent settings section.

   The Network Agent settings page opens.

4. By default, password protection is disabled. To enable password protection, set the toggle switch to Password protection is enabled.
5. Specify the password that users must enter to remove Network Agent from their devices.
6. Click the Save button.

Removal of Network Agent is password-protected.

Additionally, you can set password protection for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, to restrict user access to the management of functions and settings of the security application that is installed on their devices.
