Policy Options
The different types of policy that can be configured are described below:
- On-Access: To create policies for email messages every time they are opened, copied or saved to determine if they contain a virus or other potentially unwanted code.
- On-Demand (Default): To create policies that are activated at set intervals or on demand, to find a virus or other potentially unwanted code.
- On-Demand (Find Viruses): To create policies that are activated at set intervals or on demand, to find a virus or other Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) and other possible threats.
- On-Demand (Remove Viruses): To create policies that are activated at set intervals or on demand, and which remove viruses, Potentially Unwanted
Programs (PUPs) and other possible threats.
- On-Demand (Find Banned Content): To create policies that are activated at set intervals or on demand, to find a banned content that you do not want to appear in email messages.
- On-Demand (Remove Banned Content): To create policies that are activated
at set intervals or on demand, and which remove content that you do not want to appear
in email messages. For example, if an email message contains a particular word or phrase,
you can set up a policy to automatically replace the content of that email message with an
alert message. You can use this type of policy to prevent unwanted information
entering or leaving your organization.
- On-Demand (Full Scan): To create policies that are activated at set intervals or on demand.
- Gateway: To create policies for email messages every time they are opened, copied or saved to determine if it is a spam, a phish, MIME files or HTML files.
- Shared Resources: To set up resources, such as alert messages, that can be used by more than one policy. This is more efficient than setting up those resources
separately for each policy.
