Creating a new policy

When you import your legacy policies, they appear in the authoring
environment as rulesets. If the -p switch was used, your imported legacy policies
appear in the authoring environment as policy files.

The next procedure is to create a new policy and add one of the legacy rulesets
that you imported. Symantec recommends that you follow a one ruleset per
policy association to reduce complexity.

To create a new policy

1

On the Library tab, click File > New.

In the New dialog, click Detection Policy, and then click Open.
