Navigate to the sidebar menu: [Protection](docId\:AOavaXBxIc2KMEjwXC3Pi) > **Policies**.

## Overview
The **Policy **section serves as the central hub for your network's security logic. Here, you can create and manage customized security profiles that bundle your filtering rules into single, deployable objects. This dashboard provides a clear view of all your active configurations, allowing you to easily apply specific protection standards to any of your networks.
## Policies
Policies are the heart of your filtering system. A **Policy** is a container that bundles all your filtering rules (Malware, Content, GeoBlocking, etc.) into a single object.
Instead of configuring every network individually, you create a Policy (e.g., "Guest Wi-Fi" or "Office Staff") and assign it to as many networks as needed.

## Accessing the Configuration Dashboard
Once the policy is created, you must open it to view or modify its rules.
- **Locate** your policy in the main list.
- **Click** directly on the **Policy Name** (e.g., "First configuration...").
The dashboard that opens next depends on the **Type** assigned to the policy:
- **If the Policy is "Standard":** Standard policies allow you to fully customize every aspect of the protection, including Malware, Content Filtering, and GeoBlocking.
- **If the Policy is "Restricted":** Restricted policies are pre-configured profiles where the core security rules are locked to ensure consistent protection. The interface will differ as modification options are limited.

To understand the interface structure and the available modules for both policy types, please refer to the main configuration: [Policy configuration](docId:8AWjbTxqop9G95XTyt_FS)
