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.
How can I manage policies?
The Policies page displays all your policies. Use this page to create, copy, modify, and delete
policies for your account. If you have not created any policies, only the McAfee Default policy
is displayed.
