Policies and policy categories

Policy information for each product is grouped by category. Each policy category refers to a specific subset of policies. In the Policy Catalog, a product’s policy categories are displayed when you expand the product name.

A named policy is a configured set of policy definitions for a specific policy category. You can create, modify, or delete as many named policies as needed for each policy category. In the Policy Catalog, named policies for a specific category are displayed when you expand the category name.

Each policy category has a Global Default named policy. You cannot edit or delete this policy.

Two Host Intrusion Prevention policy categories, IPS Rules and Trusted Applications, enable you to assign more than one named policy instances and offer a profile of IPS and application policies that can be applied
