Abstract
A management entity generates for display multiple icons, each icon representing an actor or a resource in a networking environment, and defines a generic security policy by receiving user input in the form of a line drawn between a first icon representing an actor and a second icon representing a resource to control abilities between the actor and the resource. The management entity translates the generic security policy to multiple native security policies each of which is based on a corresponding one of multiple native policy models associated with corresponding ones of multiple security devices, and supply data descriptive of the multiple native security policies to the corresponding ones of the security devices to configure the corresponding ones of the security devices to implement the native security policies.
