Policy Levels

Policy Levels

Policy Levels help users manage and prioritize a large number of policies. By organizing policies into different levels, users can ensure that the policy engine processes only the highest-priority policies first.

For example, If a user violates policies in multiple levels, the policy engine stops at the top-priority level. Once a rule in that top level is breached, an alert is triggered. This alert will appear in the investigation module. The system does not continue down to lower-priority levels once a higher-priority violation is found.

Users with the required permissions can create, edit, and delete policy levels. They can also configure these levels to prioritize one set of policies over another.

Understanding Policy Priority

Navigate to the Policy menu and click on the Manage Policy Levels button.

The Manage policy levels window opens.

When you open the Manage policy levels window, the available policy levels are displayed. The top-priority level is selected by default.

Policy priority is displayed from left to right:

Left side indicates the highest priority.
Right side indicates the lowest priority.

If more than four policy levels exist, a drop-down menu appears, listing all available levels from highest to lowest priority.

Note: The default level will be at the bottom, and it has the lowest priority.

You can also view the Level Name, Description, and the policies associated with each policy level.

Note: Now, users also have the privilege to select or assign a policy level at the moment when they create a new policy. This ensures that from the very beginning, each policy is aligned with the right priority level, as shown below.
