Policies

The default execution policy for Zone Configurations: Determines whether upstream connections can overwrite zone configurations. Use this setting to prevent configuration conflicts. You can choose between these option:

• Disable vantage execution policy
• Local only
• Upstream only
• Apply all

The default execution policy for Alert Rules: Defines whether alert rules from upstream sources can override local configurations. Prevents alert conflicts by enforcing one source of truth.

Alert deduplication: Groups repeated alerts of the same type that share identical deduplication key values, instead of creating a separate alert entry each time. The expert view on the Alerts page shows the first and last occurrence timestamps and the total count for each grouped alert. This setting was previously only available via command-line interface (CLI). You can select one of these options:

• Enabled
• Disabled
• Default

For more details, see the Alert deduplication topic in the Vantage User Guide under Alerts.

Asset Intelligence enrichment strategy: Specifies how machine learning is used to enhance assets with enriched context such as classification or confidence levels. You can choose from these options:

• High confidence only
• Safe enrichment: Discards uncertain predictions when enriching assets
• Aggressive enrichment: Allows uncertain predictions when enriching assets

Create Windows CVEs only if hotfixes are known: Prevents creation of CVEs for Windows assets with unknown hotfix status. This avoids reporting issues that might have already been resolved.
