What is the default selection for creating and applying policies after the Baseline upload?

The default selection for creating and applying policies after the Baseline upload is related to the way ThreatLocker manages security policies. When managing security through ThreatLocker, policies can be established based on the attributes of computers, users, devices, or networks.

Focusing on computer policies, they provide a means to control applications and processes at the machine level. This is crucial because it allows for a standard configuration that fits the security needs of the organization. After the Baseline upload, the emphasis on computer policies ensures that the foundational rules governing application behavior on devices are set, providing a baseline of security that can then be expanded upon with additional user, device, or network policies as necessary.

By prioritizing computer policies by default, ThreatLocker helps organizations ensure that the machines are already under secure guidelines before any additional layers are added. This method ensures a more secure starting position from which to build out further, granular controls.
