Description

Use this parameter to create a new WDAC (Application Control) base policy with different policy types and configurations.

Note

If the selected policy type is DefaultWindows and the detected PowerShell is not installed through Microsoft Store, the module will scan the PowerShell files and add them to the DefaultWindows base policy as allowed files so you will be able to continue using the module after deploying the policy.

The SignedAndReputable policy type uses ISG, The Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph.
