Policy Servers use configurable
rules and policies to help enforce your organization’s security
guidelines.
Rules include specific criteria that Policy Servers use to compare
with the security posture of
OfficeScan clients.
If the
client security posture
matches the criteria you configure in a rule, the
client and server carry
out the actions you specify in the rule (see
Policy Server and OfficeScan
Client Actions).
Policies include one or more rules. Assign one policy to each
registered
OfficeScan server on
the network for both outbreak mode and normal mode (see
Security Risk Outbreaksfor more information
on network modes).
If the
OfficeScan client security
posture matches the criteria in a rule that belongs to the policy,
the
OfficeScan client carries
out the actions you configure in the rule. However, if the
OfficeScan client security posture does
not match any of the criteria in any of the rules associated with
the policy, you can still configure default actions in the policy
for the
OfficeScan client and
server to carry out (see
Policy Server and OfficeScan
Client Actions).

Tip
If you want certain OfficeScan clients in
an OfficeScan domain to have different
outbreak and normal mode policies from other OfficeScan clients in
the same domain, Trend Micro suggests restructuring
the domains to group OfficeScan clients with
similar requirement (see OfficeScan Domains).
