File Policies allow you to enforce a wide range of automated processes using the cloud provider's APIs. Policies can be set to provide continuous compliance scans, legal eDiscovery tasks, DLP for sensitive content shared publicly, and many more use cases. Defender for Cloud Apps can monitor any file type based on more than 20 metadata filters (for example, access level, file type).

Once enabled, the policy continuously scans your cloud environment and identifies files that match the content and context filters, and apply the requested automated actions. These policies detect and remediate any violations for at-rest information or when new content is created. Policies can be monitored using real-time alerts or using console-generated reports.

1. Within **Category**, link the policy to the most appropriate risk type. This field is informative only and helps you search for specific policies and alerts later, based on risk type.

1. **Create a filter for the files this policy will act on** to set which discovered apps trigger this policy. Narrow down the policy filters until you reach an accurate set of files you wish to act upon. Be as restrictive as possible to avoid false positives. For example, if you wish to remove public permissions, remember to add the **Public** filter, if you wish to remove an external user, use the "External" filter and so on.

> When using the policy filters, **Contains** searches only for full words – separated by commas, dots, spaces, or underscores. For example if you search for **malware** or **virus**, it finds virus_malware_file.exe but it does not find malwarevirusfile.exe. If you search for **malware.exe**, then you find ALL files with either malware or exe in their filename, whereas if you search for **"malware.exe"** (with the quotation marks) you find only files that contain exactly "malware.exe". **Equals** searches only for the complete string, for example if you search for **malware.exe** it finds malware.exe but not malware.exe.txt.
