Predefined Policies
As the name suggests, a predefined computer security policy is a set of access rights and protection settings that has been saved and can be re-used and deployed on multiple applications. Each policy is comprised of a number of 'Rules' and each of these 'Rules' is defined by a set of conditions/settings/parameters. 'Predefined Policies' is a set of policies that concern an application's access rights to memory, other programs, the registry etc.

Although each application's security policy could be defined from the ground up by individually configuring its constituent rules, this practice may prove time consuming if it had to be performed for every single program on your system. For this reason, Comodo Internet Security contains a selection of predefined policies according to broad application categories. Each predefined policy has been specifically designed by Comodo to optimize the security level of a certain type of application. Users can, of course, modify these predefined policies to suit their environment and requirements.
