# Security Policy Automations

## Create and Manage Security Policies with Preconfigured Rules and Actions

For security policy automations in Senturo, you can choose from various preconfigured rules and actions to build effective security policies.

### Preconfigured Rules

1. **Outside Zone**:
   
     - Trigger actions when devices are found outside designated zones.
2. **Inside Zone**:
   
     - Implement rules for devices within specified geofenced zones.
3. **Network Anomaly Detection**:
   
     - Identify and respond to network anomalies.
4. **Scheduled Events**:
   
     - Set up automated processes that follow prearranged timelines.
5. **Time-Locked Access**:
   
     - Restrict device access during specific time intervals.
6. **Senturo Agent Phone Home**
   
     - Specify the maximum duration a device can be disconnected from Senturo servers before being considered at risk.

### Available Actions

After selecting a rule, users can choose one or more actions to be executed when the rule is triggered. Available actions in Senturo include:

1. **Senturo Lock**:
   
     - Set a password to lock the device and display a custom lock screen.
2. **Send Broadcast**:
   
     - Send a broadcast message to the device.
3. **Wipe Files**:
   
     - Wipe files from the user directory.
4. **Send Email to Admin**:
   
     - Send a custom email to assigned administrators.
5. **Set Missing Mode**:
   
     - Initiate high-frequency tracking by switching the device status to missing mode.
6. **Pull Current Location**:
   
     - Retrieve the current location of a device.
7. **Take Screenshots**:
   
     - Capture a screenshot of the current on-screen activity.
8. **Pull Current Network Data**:
   
     - Retrieve the latest network data from a device.
9. **MDM Actions:** 
     - If you have an MDM integrated with Senturo, and have enabled actions, these can also be used as actions.

### Scheduling Options

After configuring the actions, you will be directed to the scheduling tab. The scheduling options include:

1. **Set Schedule**:
   
     - Define specific times and days or dates for the policy to be active.
2. **Always On**:
   
     - Keep the policy active at all times.

#### Conclusion

By selecting preconfigured rules and actions, and setting appropriate schedules, you can ensure your devices are secure and compliant with your organizational policies.

### FAQs

**Q: Can I combine multiple rules into a single security policy?** A: Currently, each security policy is based on a single rule. However, you can create multiple automations to cover different scenarios and rules.

**Q: How do I know which actions to select for my security policy?** A: Choose actions based on the specific needs and scenarios you are addressing. For instance, use "Senturo Lock" for device security breaches and "Send Broadcast" for essential notifications.

**Q: Can I edit or update a security policy after it's created?** A: Yes, you can edit or update existing security policies by navigating to the Security Policy Automation section and selecting the policy you wish to modify.
