Applying a Policy

You can quickly configure and start server scans by using policy groups. Simply create a group, add policies to it, and apply this group to servers. The agents deployed on your servers will scan everything specified in the policies.

Precautions

  • When you enable the enterprise edition, the policy group of this edition (including weak password and website shell detection policies) takes effect for all your servers by default.
  • When you enable the premium edition alone or the premium edition included with the WTP edition, the policy group of this edition takes effect by default.

    To create your own policy group, you can copy the policy group of premium edition and add or remove policies in the copy.

  2. In the upper left corner of the page, click , select a region, and choose Security > Host Security Service.

    • Select the tenant_linux_premium_default_policy_group policy group. Locate the row that this policy group resides, click Copy in the Operation column.
    • Select the tenant_windows_premium_default_policy_group policy group. Click Copy in the Operation column.

  3. In the dialog box displayed, enter a policy group name and description, and click OK.

    • The name of a policy group must be unique, or the group will fail to be created.
    • The policy group name and its description can contain only letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and spaces, and cannot start or end with a space.
