## Policy Sets, Authentication Policies, and Authorization Policies

### Policy Sets

- Contain authentication and authorization policies
- If-then statements

### Policy Set Logic

- Authorization policy rules are only applied if the device matches the policy set
- Evaluated in a top down fashion
- Use specific policy sets
  - Prevents large, confusing rule-sets
