This section describes application tags, and provides instructions for creating and modifying them as well as for tagging third-party applications.

About application tags

Kaspersky Security Center enables you to tag third-party applications (applications made by software vendors other than Kaspersky). A tag is the label of an application that can be used for grouping or finding applications. A tag assigned to applications can serve as a condition in device selections.

For example, you can create the [Browsers] tag and assign it to all browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox.
