Managing protection on client computers
You use a single management console to manage the protection on the client
computers. Although the client computers are protected immediately, you might
need to modify the protection to suit your needs.
Table 1-6 outlines the tasks that you can perform if you need to adjust the default
settings.
Table 1-6
Modifying protection on the client computer
Description Task
You apply protection to the client computers based on the group that you place a computer
in. The computers in each group have the same level of security.
You can import your company's existing group structure. You can also create new groups.
To determine which groups to add, first consider the structure of the network. Or, if you create
a new group structure, you base your group structure on function, role, geography, or a
combination of criteria. For example, consider the number of computers at the site, or whether
the computers are the same type, such as Windows or Mac computers.
See “Managing groups of computers” on page 101.
See “Managing client computers” on page 107.
Organizing and
managing groups
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager includes default policies for each type of protection.
The policies balance the need for protection with performance. Out of the box, the default
policies provide appropriate settings for large and small organizations. You may want to
adjust settings over time based on your company needs.
See “The types of security policies” on page 118.

Edition provides” on page 21.

Modifying
protection
Security policies must be applied to a group before the clients apply the policies to the client
computer. You can create policies that all groups share or that apply to only one group.
Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager makes it easy to add and modify policies for all the
security needs of your company.
See “Performing tasks that are common to all security policies” on page 119.
