Use Offline Policy to protect agents that fail to connect to the server. When the agents connect to the server, Online Policy will be deployed. Set the offline elapsed time (from 1 to 12 hours) to apply Offline Policy. To add an agent policy:

1. Click Policy on the top.
2. Select the Security Program Policy tab.
3. Click Add > Security Agent Policy.
4. In <Update>, configure the settings.
5. Enable Use offline policy after.

• Use offline policy after: Enable this option to change the policy to Offline Policy when the agent cannot connect to the server for the set time. Offline Policy is only available for agents that cannot connect to the server. When the agent gets to connect to the server, Online Policy will be deployed. If you enable this option, set Online Policy and Offline Policy individually.
• Online Policy: Agent policy that will apply when the agent is connected to the server.
• Offline Policy: Agent policy that will apply when the agent is not connected to the server. Set the offline elapsed time between 1 and 12 hours to apply the policy. (Default: 3 hours)

6. Select the general settings for Agent Update Settings - engine file, patch file and update interval.

Note

Network overload may occur when downloading patch files. So, it is recommended to use engine files for updates. Use patch files only when necessary.

• Engine files: File that detects and repairs malware.
• Patch files (Software update files): File that updates the security product or software.

Note

If you set a short interval for "Run update after the set time of booting the system", the network or server could become overloaded when the agent computers start up at the same time in the morning. To prevent this from happening, set the time to more than 30 minutes.

• Use automatic update: Update when the computer starts.
• Run update after the set time of booting the system: Update when the specified time has been passed after system startup. Set a time between 0 and 99. The default is 10 minutes.
• Run update within the set time of booting the system: Update within the specified time period after system startup. Set a time between 0 and 99. The default is 30 minutes.
• Update at a regular interval: Update at the set intervals.
• Update every: Enter an interval between 1 to 1440 minutes. The default is 120 minutes.
• Update on a daily basis: Update at the set time everyday.
• Allow the daily update to run any time within: Update within the set time period (1 to 12 hours) after the scheduled update time. For instance, if the update schedule is at 1pm and the time period is 2 hours, the update will take place at any time between 1pm to 3pm.
