What Is a Security Policy?

A security policy is a set of rules that defines your security requirements, including (but not limited to) network security. By themselves, the network security-related rules comprise the network security policy.

When configured with the necessary network security rules, the Safe@Office appliance serves as the enforcement agent for your network security policy. Therefore, the Safe@Office appliance's effectiveness as a security solution is directly related to the network security policy's content.
