Creating GuardPoints
This section describes steps to protect create GuardPoints using the CTE APIs.
To create a GuardPoint:
Create keys (non-versioned and/or versioned keys) required for your policy. Standard policies require one key. Refer to Creating Keys for details.
Create a policy with the key created in the previous step. Refer to Creating Policies for details.
Create a GuardPoint using the policy.
Refer to the following sections for the API and sample for creating a GuardPoint. Also, for creating GuardPoints for supported CTE capabilities, refer to GuardPoint Features.
