Policy Settings
You can set up policies that determine how different types of threats are treated for different
groups of users or databases stored on the server. Each policy specifies the settings and actions
that are used by the policy and the actions taken when a detection is triggered in the SharePoint
environment. The settings are given names and can be used by many policies at the same time.
However the actions are specific to a particular policy.

From Policy Manager, select a submenu item On-Access or On-Demand.

Click on a policy for which you want to specify the settings and actions. The policy page
