Policy Manager Allows you to configure or manage different policies and corresponding actions in the product. Determine how different types of threats are treated when detected. A policy is typically described as a principle or rule to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. Policies are adopted within an organization to help objective decision making. In MSME, a policy specifies the settings that are used and the actions taken when a detection is triggered in the Exchange environment. You can create multiple policies and define specific settings and actions to particular policies. For example, you can create multiple subpolicies for the On-Access menu option and have a different setting and action set for each policy. To simplify, an MSME policy = Scanner settings + Actions to take. Note: Use the Shared Resource menu option under Policy Manager, to modify or create rules for scanner, filter, and alert settings from one common location. Use Shared Resource to save time in creating and applying MSME policies. Steps to create a policy As an administrator, to create a policy, you must: Enable the scanner or filter. Edit scanner or filter settings from the policy or Shared Resource. Specify an action to take when a detection is triggered. Specify users for whom this policy applies. Apply the settings for the required policy category. Policy categories to handle threatsView available policy categories and apply an existing default policy (known as a Master Policy) to your entire organization. Policy Manager viewsView and sort subpolicies based on inheritance or priority. Master policy and subpolicyA policy setting inside a hierarchical structure is ordinarily passed from parent to children, and from children to grandchildren, and so forth. This concept is termed as inheritance. In MSME, the default parent policy is referred as Master policy and child policy is referred as Subpolicy. Core scanners and filtersDetermine the types of scanners and filters that can be applied when creating policies. Scanners and filters comparison chart Provides information on which search scanner or filter is available for each policy category by default. List all scanners and filters for a selected policyView status of the available scanners and filters for the selected policy category. Adding a scanner or filterAdd a scanner or filter to create settings for exceptional scenarios in your Exchange organization. Create new rule for specific usersBuild new rules and specify conditions to be applied for a particular user. Actions you can take on detections For each scanner and filter settings in a policy, you can specify a primary and secondary action to take on a detection. You can specify what happens to an email message or its attachment, when it triggers a detection. Shared ResourceOne common location to edit settings for scanners, filters, alerts, DLP and Compliance dictionaries, and time slots. When setting up policies, you might want the same resource (scanner and filter settings) applied to more than one policy. In such scenarios, use Shared Resource. Manage core scanner settings for a policyCreate or edit scanner options, then specify an appropriate action to take on the detected item when a policy is triggered. Manage filter settings for a policyEnable or disable filter options, then specify an appropriate action to take on the detected item when a policy is triggered. Manage miscellaneous settings for a policyCreate or edit miscellaneous settings such as alerts and disclaimers, that are applied when a policy is triggered.
