The NBA policy is analogous to conventional CA DLP machine policies. An NBA policy includes the rules (or filters) that jointly determine how the NBA handles data packets passing through the NBA. The policy also specifies the policy engines or PE hub that the NBA will use when running in active mode. Finally, the policy determines how the NBA manages its log files (for example, the default level of logging, and the maximum number and size of log files).
NBA policies can operate in tandem with CA DLP user policies. For example, an NBA policy may dictate that specific types of communication are passed (as reassembled files or emails) to a CA DLP policy engine to apply a CA DLP user policy to that communication, but that other communications are permitted to pass through the NBA uninterrupted.
On Bivio 7000 appliances, you can define most policy settings in the NBA web console. On Bivio 2000 appliances, some policy settings are editable in the NBA web console. In both cases, you can fully define an NBA policy by editing nbapolicy.xml. Find this file in the \config folder on the NBA.
Also, because complex XML files can be hard for people to read and comprehend, a summary of the NBA policy is written to a text file, nbapolicy.txt.
