Intended Audience; Where To Find More Information - Symantec 460R - Gateway Security Administrator's Manual

12 Introducing the Symantec Gateway Security 400 Series

Intended audience

Combining powerful alert notification, enterprise reporting and role-based administration with a highly
scalable secure architecture, the Symantec Event Manager is ideally suited for medium-to-large enterprises
and supported security services environments.
If you have separately purchased an Event Collector for a third-party firewall product, you can also view
events generated by that product.
Symantec Event Manager for Security Gateways is installed on the SESA Manager computer. You join each
local security gateway to SESA using the controls provided in the Security Gateway Management Interface
(SGMI).
Symantec Event Manager is automatically installed if you install the Symantec Advanced Manager for
Security Gateways.
Intended audience
This manual is intended for system managers or administrators responsible for installing and maintaining
the security gateway. It assumes that readers have a solid base in networking concepts and an Internet
browser.
