  2. Select your device group, click More, and select Change Policy.
  3. In the Change Policy window, go to Endpoint Security Policy and select a policy set from the drop-down list.
  4. Click Submit.
  5. To display the threats on the Security Dashboard in the IBM MaaS360 Portal for a device, open the MaaS360 MTD app on the device once to complete activation. Avoid this step by enabling Zero-touch activation.
