Security Policies Page
The SECURITY POLICIES page displays a row for each security policy. Each policy row can be expanded to show the rules that it contains, as shown below. To access this page, click the down arrow next to SECURITY SETTINGS and then select Security Policies.
FortiEDR is provided out-of-the-box with several predefined security policies (depending on your license), ready for you to get started. By default, all policies are set to Simulation mode (meaning that they only log and do not block) and show the
