Disabling a policy

Pause a policy on all of its assets. To resume the policy later, enable it. See Enabling a policy.

Prerequisites

  • The policy is applied to at least one asset. Cyber Console offers Disable when the policy is enabled on at least one of its assets.

  • Your tenant or one of its child tenants owns the policy. For a policy that a parent tenant owns, the row menu offers only Export.

  • Your role allows you to manage policies of the types that you work with. See Protection.

  • Two-factor authentication is enabled for your user account. If it is not enabled, a dialog asks you to enable it, and the action does not run.

To disable a policy

  1. In Cyber Console, go to Protection > Policies > All policies.

  2. In the row of the policy, open the row menu, and then click Disable.

    The Disable policy dialog opens. The dialog states that the policy is disabled for all assets.

  3. Click Disable.

The policy no longer acts on its assets, and a message confirms that the policy is disabled. A disabled policy keeps its configuration and its assets.

You can also disable a policy on the policy details page, under the policy name.

To disable several policies at once, see Running an action on multiple policies.
