Policy Servers use policies and rules to help enforce your security policies and guidelines.
Rules include specific criteria that Policy Servers use to compare with OfficeScan client security posture data. If the client security posture matches the criteria you configure in a rule, the client and server carry out the actions you specify for the rule.
Policies include rules. Assign one policy to each registered OfficeScan server on your network for both outbreak prevention mode and normal mode. 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 for the rule. However, if the 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 client and server to carry out.
