1 Introducing McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator Software version 4.6.0

How to navigate the ePolicy Orchestrator interface

1 Your ePolicy Orchestrator server connects to the McAfee update server to pull down the latest
security content.
2 The ePolicy Orchestrator database stores all the data about the managed systems on your network,
including:
• System properties
• Policy information
• Directory structure
• All other relevant data the server needs to keep your systems up-to-date.
3 McAfee Agents are deployed to your systems to facilitate:
• Policy enforcement
• Product deployments and updates
• Reporting on your managed systems
4 Agent-server secure communication (ASSC) occurs at regular intervals between your systems and
server. If remote Agent Handlers are installed in your network, agents communicate with the server
through their assigned Agent Handlers.
5 Users log onto the ePolicy Orchestrator console to perform security management tasks, such as
running queries to report on security status or working with your managed software security policies.
6 The McAfee update server hosts the latest security content, so your ePolicy Orchestrator can pull
the content at scheduled intervals.
7 Distributed repositories placed throughout your network host your security content locally, so
agents can receive updates more quickly.
8 Remote Agent Handlers help to scale your network to handle more agents with a single ePolicy
Orchestrator server.
9 Ticketing servers connect to your ePolicy Orchestrator server to help manage your issues and tickets.
10 Automatic Response notifications are sent to security administrators to notify them that an event
has occurred.
How to navigate the ePolicy Orchestrator interface
The ePolicy Orchestrator interface uses a menu-based navigation model with a customizable favorites
bar to ensure that you can get where you need to go quickly.
Menu sections represent the top-level features of your ePolicy Orchestrator server. As you add new
managed products to your server, the associated interface pages are either added to an existing
category, or a new category is created in the Menu.
