Configuring policies
Policies are the rules you set for each computer in a network that Host Intrusion Prevention protects. The Host Intrusion Prevention client on the client systems receives these policy updates at regular intervals.
Select a node in the console tree under Directory and the features available in Host Intrusion Prevention appear in the details pane on the Policies tab. These include:
General Policies
IPS Policies
Firewall Policies
Application Blocking Policies
Click the down arrow to reveal the categories available for each feature. See the appropriate sections in this guide on each of these features for details.
Policy viewing alerts
When you view the details of a Host Intrusion Prevention policy, you may be asked to trust a signed Java applet that is needed to display the policy content. If this alert appears, click Yes (or Always) to display the details of the policy.
