# Automated Policies

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Use automated policies to enforce security and logging requirements by applying the same policies to
all APIs running in Omni Gateway. With policy automation, you can quickly design, build, and deploy
secure and consistent APIs.

Automated policies enable you to deploy APIs with confidence because the target environment
automatically enforces critical policies, resulting in reduced errors. An administrator no longer
needs to remember to insert a policy to enforce common standards manually.

You can configure all [included policies](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/policies-included-directory) and
[custom policies](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/policies-custom-overview) as automated policies and apply them to the APIs running
in an environment.

> [!NOTE] [Alerts](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/latest/use-api-alerts) cannot be added to API instances protected by automated policies.
