Management of security policies

Policies are made up of security settings for all of your protection features. These settings define how
protection features operate on client computers.
Why use policies?
Policies enable you to customize security settings for your entire organization or for different
computers in your organization. You can assign a unique policy to each computer or allow all
computers to share a single policy.
For example, you might place all laptops used by traveling sales representatives into a single group
called Sales Team. For each computer in the group, you can assign a policy with high security settings
that will provide greater protection against threats in unsecured networks such as airports and hotels.
Whenever you want to adjust those setting, simply change the policy. Your changes will be applied to
all the computers in the Sales Team group automatically. There is no need to update each computer's
setting individually.
