How do I create policies?

Policies govern Internet access and are made up of:

• Category filters, used to apply actions to URL categories
• Limited access filters, used to permit access to only a list of URLs
• Protocol filters, used to apply actions to Internet protocols
• Cloud App filters, used to apply actions to cloud applications.
• A schedule used to determine when each filter is enforced.

Each new software installation includes a Default policy that controls Internet access for all clients not governed by another policy. It begins monitoring Internet usage as soon as you enter your subscription key.

As a best practice, edit the Default policy first, to set the baseline for Internet access at your organization. Next, create custom policies as needed to provide the levels of access needed for different groups in your organization.
