What condition must be met for a ringfencing policy to take effect regardless of maintenance mode?

For a ringfencing policy to be effective regardless of maintenance mode, it must be set to secured. When a policy is classified as secured, it indicates that the policy is actively enforced, meaning that any applications or processes that violate the specified rules will be subject to the constraints defined within the ringfencing policy.

This enforcement is crucial during maintenance mode because it ensures that the protective mechanisms remain in place, preventing unauthorized applications or processes from executing without proper oversight. In contrast, if a policy is merely set to active or monitored, it may not provide the same level of enforcement and could allow potential security gaps during maintenance.

A policy configured to learn is designed for gathering data and insights during a specified period without imposing restrictions, which doesn't contribute to the enforcement aspect necessary for ringfencing during maintenance. Thus, for robust security and enforcement of the rules established in the ringfencing policy, the secured condition is essential.
