9.1. What is a Policy?

A policy is a set of rules that guide certain actions when conditions are met. It’s what IQ Server uses to identify and prevent risk associated with open source, third-party, or proprietary components that may enter a repository or exist in an application.

This chapter describes how to configure basic policies. If you want to augment your policies with component labels, application categories, or license threat groups, see the Advanced Policy Management chapter.
