Phase 3: Enforce Policies

Where you are in the process:

  1. Prepare your infrastructure
  2. Plan your policies
  3. Enforce your policies
  4. Daily operations

Now that you've created your Device Control Policies, you can begin deploying them to your organization. This section of the guide describes each step in a smooth deployment.

In this phase, you will:

  1. Plan Deployment Informational Campaign
    Inform your end users that you're deploying your policies. They need to know how Device Control affects them.
  2. Enable Enforcement
    Switch from Audit mode to Policy enforcement mode to begin enforcing the default Device Control Policies.
  3. Test Device Control Policies
    Before deploying your custom Device Control Policies to your production endpoints, test them on a small group of endpoints to confirm they're working correctly.
  4. Confirm Policy Functionality
    Finally, review device event logs to make sure that your policies are functioning correctly. If they aren't, edit your policies to correct them.
  5. Deploy Device Control Policies
    After testing your custom policies, deploy them to your production endpoints. When you're done deploying, circle back to Confirm Policy Functionality to reconfirm that your policies are working properly.
