Policies

A policy is a set of options (such as settings for malware protection) that Sophos Central applies to protected users, devices, servers, or networks.

There's a policy for each product or for a feature that’s part of a product.

For example, there's a policy for the application control feature.

To find out how policies work and how you can use them to customize security settings, see About Policies.

To find out how to create and edit policies, see Create or Edit a Policy.

Your assigned administrator role affects what you can do.
