Creating application categories

For more convenience when creating rules, you can create categories of applications and use them when creating Application Startup Control rules.

It is recommended to create a "Work applications" category that covers the standard set of applications that are used at the company. If different user groups use different sets of applications in their work, a separate application category can be created for each user group.

To create an application category:

1. Open the Administration Console of Kaspersky Security Center.
2. In the Administration Console tree, select the Additional → Application management → Application categories folder.
3. Click the Create category button in the workspace.

   The user category creation wizard starts.

4. Follow the instructions of the user category creation wizard.
