1.4 Basic Terminology
Host
In this document it means a computer that is centrally managed with
F-Secure Policy Manager.
Policy
A security policy is a set of well-defined rules that regulate how sensitive
information and other resources are managed, protected, and distributed.
The management architecture of F-Secure software uses policies that are
centrally configured by the administrator for optimum control of security in
a corporate environment.
The information flow between F-Secure Policy Manager Console and the
hosts is accomplished by transferring policy files.
