Methods and systems for providing integration between an enterprise security management configuration tool and third party network traffic software are disclosed. By defining a software interface through which configuration data for third party networking devices can be queried and configuration data accessed, the enterprise security management configuration tool can compare overall network traffic to the configuration provided by the third party networking software to assess an overall security level within an enterprise network.

Third party integration with enterprise security management tool

Methods and systems for configuring a common security policy for a plurality of nodes included within an enterprise network. Example methods can include grouping nodes within profiles based on IP address, in addition to concordance data. Additionally, nodes may be added to profiles based on a classification of the node being common to classifications of nodes within the profile. Still further, profiles may be grouped into a solution based at least in part on classification of the profile, in addition to grouping of profiles into solutions based on affinitization using concordance data. The methods described also include determining a common security policy to apply to each of the nodes within the profile.

Object scope definition for enterprise security management tool

Methods and systems for configuring a security policy for an enterprise within an enterprise security management tool are disclosed. In some aspects, such systems receive a definition of at least one custom classification within a user interface of the enterprise security management configuration tool, including a name of a profile and network activity associated with one or more nodes to be included within the profile. Such systems also generate a security settings file to be applied within the enterprise, the security settings file including, for each profile, a common security policy to each of the nodes included in the profile. The profiles to which the security settings file is applied include the profile defined by the at least one custom classification.
