# Managing policies

# Managing policies in AI Control Tower {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

Create, change, or remove the policies that respond to detected threats or block AI usage.

## Managing policies workflow {#gov-pol-managing-policies__cf-using-parent-workflow}

Create a Threat Response policy to automatically contain an agent when a detected threat matches conditions you define, or an Explicit Block policy to stop specific AI usage outright.

Both policy types work the same way once published. Edit a policy to change what it enforces, clone it to try a variant without changing the original, or delete it to end its enforcement entirely. A policy has no pause or disable state, so deleting it is the only way to stop it from running.

Once a policy is published, confirm it's doing what you designed it to do. See [Reviewing policy enforcement activities in AI Control Tower](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/O1Ized_5LL_1wFy3YjJvjQ "Review policy activities and execution results.").
