Role required: sn_ai_governance.ai_steward

About this task

You can change the threat type, which agents it applies to, and more by editing an existing Threat Response policy. Editing keeps the same policy record, along with its enforcement history. The policy type is read only. To use a different policy type, create a new policy instead.

Procedure

Navigate to All > AI Control Tower > Home > Govern > Policies.
Find the Threat Response policy you want to edit.
Select Edit.
In the On threat section, update the threat type, which agents the policy covers, or the sensitivity.
In the Do this section, add, remove, or update follow-up actions.
Review the policy summary, then select Publish.

Result

The policy takes effect with your changes. Enforcement activity from before the edit stays available in the policy's history.

What to do next

Confirm the policy is working as expected by reviewing policy enforcement activity. For details, see Reviewing policy enforcement activities in AI Control Tower.
