Creating and managing audits
Create an audit
Create an audit
Audits determine whether systems comply with your security needs and the results tell you
what, if anything, needs to be done to make the systems compliant.
Before you begin
You must have permissions to add, remove, and change audits and assignments.
You must have a benchmark that you have activated for use in the audit.
McAfee Policy Auditor must be integrated with McAfee Vulnerability Manager if you plan to
create an agentless audit.
