Creating a New Policy

How to Create a Policy in the ZeroLock® Security Environment.

      For ZeroLock Management Console versions before v4.2.x, please use this link.

      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_v4.2.x

      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, four rules will be added.  To accomplish this, click ADD RULES. 
        Step_2_New Policy Creation page_v4.2.x

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

      4. The last step is to select CREATE, and the policy is created.
        Step_4_Create New Policy_v4.2.x

      5. Selecting CREATE returns you to the main Policies screen and the profile you created.

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