Step 3: Respond to Threats
Task: Define a Policy
NIM takes an action only in response to an alert. The relationship between an alert and an
action is established by a policy.
When setting up these relationships, you can either modify an existing default policy, such as
the Default Security Policy—ProCurve Security Devices, or you can create a new policy. The
configuration process is very similar for both. The only difference is that when you create a
new policy, you select Policies in the navigation tree, click New, and type a name for the policy.
To modify Default Security Policy—ProCurve Security Devices, complete the following steps:
1. Open the Policy Manager window by clicking Tools > Policy Manager.
2. In the navigation tree, click the arrow next to Policies and select Default Security Policy—
ProCurve Security Devices.
3. Click the Times tab.

4. Configure when the policy will be enforced:
a. Any time—If you want the policy to be triggered any time its alert occurs, leave Any
time as the setting for Selected Times.
b. Existing time—If you want the policy to be triggered only at specific times, click an
existing time in the Available times panel and click the >> button to add it to the
Selected Times. If the time you want does not appear in the Available Times panel, you
must create it.
Note When IDM is installed, you can use times that are already configured for IDM.
