Cisco Security Agent PoliciesCSA MC default Cisco Security Agent kits, groups, policies, and configuration
variables are designed to provide a high level of security coverage for desktops
and servers. These default Cisco Security Agent kits, groups, policies, rule
modules and configuration variables cannot anticipate all possible local security
policy requirements specified by your organization's management, nor can they
anticipate all local combinations of application usage patterns. Cisco recommends
deploying agents using the default configurations and then monitoring for
possible tuning to your environment.
If you are using shipped policies, you can also use shipped, pre-built agent kits.
Therefore, if you’re not creating your own configurations, you can simply refer
to Chapter 3 and Chapter 10 in the User Guide for information on deploying kits
to end users and viewing the event log.
Note Each pre-configured rule module, policy, and group page has data in the
expandable +Detailed description field explaining the item in question. Read the
information in these fields to learn about the items described and to determine if
the item in question meets your needs for usage.
As a jumping off point for creating your own configurations, the following
sections in this manual take you through the step by step process of configuring
some of the basic elements you need to initiate server/agent communications and
to begin the distribution of your own policies.
