Add global rules

Global rules allow you to enforce and track block rules that have a global scope over all protected computers in your network. Currently, this is only available for block rules. Generally, use the following steps to create global rules:

1. Create and configure an ApplicationControlGlobalRule object.
2. Use an ApplicationControlGlobalRuleApi object to create the global rule on Workload Security.

Also see the Create and add new global rules operation in the API Reference. For more information about global rules, see the Use the API to create shared and global rulesets.

The following example adds software to the global rules:

source

# Create the rules
new_rules = []
for sha256 in sha256_list:
    new_rule = api.ApplicationControlGlobalRule()
    new_rule.sha256 = sha256
    new_rules.append(new_rule)

# Add the rules
global_rules_api = api.GlobalRulesApi(api.ApiClient(configuration))
rules_list = api.ApplicationControlGlobalRules()
rules_list.application_control_global_rules = new_rules
return global_rules_api.add_global_rules(rules_list, api_version)
