How can a new policy be created in Deep Security?

Creating a new policy in Trend Micro Deep Security can be accomplished through various methods, all of which are valid and practical approaches.

One method is by modifying an existing policy. This allows you to customize settings and configurations while ensuring you retain some proven settings from the original policy that may still be applicable.

Duplicating an existing policy is another effective way to create a new policy. This method lets you make a copy of an existing policy, from which adjustments can be made. This is especially useful if the original policy contains configurations that you want to retain, while still needing to make specific changes for a different context or group of resources.

Additionally, importing a policy from another installation enables you to leverage configurations that have already been tested and validated in a different environment. This is advantageous as it can save time and effort in crafting a policy from scratch, allowing you to benefit from best practices established in prior setups.

Thus, the ability to create a new policy from modifying an existing one, duplicating it, or importing one ensures that administrators have flexibility and efficiency in policy management, all of which contribute to robust security management.
