Importing an WithSecure Policy Manager host policy to a Elements Endpoint Protection profile in the Elements Security Center

Issue:

How can I import a Policy Manager host policy to a Elements Endpoint Protection profile in the Elements Security Center Portal?

Resolution:

You can follow the steps below to export the WithSecure Client Security host policy using the Policy Manager Console:

1. Log in to the Policy Manager Console
2. Right-click the host in the Domain Tree
3. Select Export policy file 

Note: Client Security 13.x host policy cannot be imported to an Elements Endpoint Protection profile since it is in a .bpf format. The .json file format is required to be able to import the policy.

Import the Client Security host policy .json to an Elements Endpoint Protection profile:

1. Log in to the Elements Security Center
2. Navigate to the Security configurations > Profiles page
3. Select the profile to which you want to import the host policy
4. Click on the three dots
5. Select Import profile
6. Navigate to the .json file and click Open

Note: if you receive an error "Cannot import the given profile because the format of the file is unknown", you have exported the profile incorrectly by selecting Tools > Export policy settings. The policy must be exported by right-clicking the host in the Domain Tree.
