Creating a New Policy

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.  
   
   
   
2. On the New Policy screen, enter a name and description for the policy.  Though a policy need not have any rules to be recognized by the ZeroLock™ environment, however, for this example, a rule will be added.  To accomplish this, click ADD RULES. 
   
   
   
3. Select a rule from the displayed list then click ADD SELECTED.
   
   
   
4. The last step is to select CREATE and the policy is created.
   

You have successfully created a new policy for your ZeroLock™ environment.
