Creating a new security policy

Creating a new security policy

A new security policy can be created by cloning an existing policy, as described below. New security policies are only needed if you are going to assign different policies to different Collector Groups. Otherwise, you can simply modify one of the default policies that are provided out-of-the-box and apply it to all FortiEDR Collectors by default. Modifications made on one security policy do not affect any other policies.

To create a new security policy:
  1. In the SECURITY POLICIES page, check the checkbox of the security policy to be cloned. The buttons at the top of the window then become active.

  2. Select the Clone Policy button. The following window displays:

  3. Specify the name of the new security policy and click the Clone button.
  4. If needed, assign the security policy to the required Collector Group so that it protects all the FortiEDR Collectors in that group, as described in Assigning a security policy to a Collector Group.
