Import a policy

You can import device policies from the
CylancePROTECT Desktop
 console (.xml file) and from other
CylanceON-PREM
 console instances (JSON file) to make it easier to create and manage device policies.
When you import a policy from
CylancePROTECT Desktop
, consider the following:
  • The
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
     policy safe list will not be imported because it is a bloom filter, not a list of hashes.
  • If the policy also contains settings for
    CylanceOPTICS
    , only the
    CylancePROTECT Desktop
     policy settings will be imported.
  1. In the console, on the menu bar, click
    Policies
    .
  2. Click the
    Import Policy
     icon. The Import Policy window displays.
  3. Enter a name for the policy under Policy Name.
  4. Click
    Browse for a file
     and select the policy.xml or policy.json file you exported.
  5. Click
    Import
    . The imported policy displays in the Policy list with the name you specified.
To export the policy as a JSON file, click the export icon in the Action column.
