What are the main stages of a policy installation?

Dejan C.Jun 18, 2026

D is correct. Policy installation goes through four distinct stages: the Management Server first verifies the policy for errors, then compiles it into an atomic inspection script, transfers the compiled code to the target gateways, and finally commits it so the gateway swaps in the new policy and begins enforcing it. The other options mix in invented terms or collapse real stages together, which is why they fall apart under scrutiny.

D is the right pick. The one that trips people up is C, because "Verification, Commit, Installation" sounds like a logical pipeline, but "commit" in the gateway context means the final push to the kernel tables, not a standalone stage, and "compilation" is the real step where the policy gets converted to an inspection code binary before it ever transfers to the gateways.

I kept circling back to C because "Verification, Commit, Installation" just sounds right in plain English, but what locked in D for me was remembering that the policy has to be compiled into atomic rules and physically transferred to the gateway before anything gets committed, so the process is more granular than C gives it credit for.
