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.
For more information on F-Secure Policy Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Policy domain
Policy domains are groups of hosts or subdomains that have a similar
security policy.
Policy inheritance
Policy inheritance simplifies the defining of a common policy. In F-Secure
Policy Manager Console, each policy domain automatically inherits the
settings of its parent domain, allowing for easy and efficient management
of large networks. The inherited settings may be overridden for individual
hosts or domains. When a domain's inherited settings are changed, the
changes are inherited by all of the domain’s hosts and subdomains.
