Cisco Security Agent Policies

CSA 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.
