Creating a New Policy

How-to create a Policy in the ZeroLock® Security Environment.

    The use of policies simplifies the work of ZeroLock® Management Console (ZMC) administrators as they allow for the grouping of rules instead of applying rules individually to an endpoint. 

    The rules that make up a policy group will determine the actions processes are allowed to take on ZeroLock protected systems.

    1. From the ZeroLock Management Console (ZMC) dashboard menu, go to CONTROL POLICIES | POLICIES | ADD NEW POLICY.  
      Step_1_Policies page

    2. On the New Policy screen, enter a name and description for the policy.  A policy does not require any rules to be recognized by the ZeroLock® environment; for this example, three rules will be added.  To accomplish this, click ADD RULES

    3. Select the rules from the displayed list, then click ADD SELECTED.
