The Configuration > Group Policy > Additional Policies page allows you to set additional
policies that can be used as exceptions to the Default Policy and the Special Hours policy and
which are executed as part of the Web Appliance’s policy filtering process.
Additional policies are added or modified in the Additional Policy editor. The additional policies
that have been added are arranged by execution priority (enabled or disabled) and deleted on
the Additional Policies page.
Note: The Quarantined Machines policy is a default policy that cannot be deleted, turned off,
or have its priority changed. This policy manages machines which have been blocked because
they have been detected attempting to contact malware command and control services.This
policy applies only to machines connecting from inside your network.
