Create or edit a file policy

File policies allow you to control file transfers and provide malware protection by defining rules that specify which files can be transferred, blocked, or inspected for threats.

Before you begin

If you are configuring policies for malware protection, refer to all required procedures in Configure file policies.

Procedure

Step 1

Select Policies > Security policies > Malware & File .

Step 2

Create a new policy, or edit an existing policy.

If you are editing an existing policy: If View (View button) appears instead, the configuration belongs to an ancestor domain, or you do not have permission to modify the configuration.

Tip

Step 3

Add one or more rules to the file policy as described in Create file rules.
