Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and processor-readable storage media for generating security policies for end-user devices using group rankings and partial policy determinations are provided herein. An example computer-implemented method includes ranking end-user device groups within an enterprise, wherein each of the groups is associated with one or more security-related policy settings; assigning a given end-user device to two or more of the groups based on device parameters attributed to the given end-user device; generating a policy for the given end-user device by performing partial policy determinations across the two or more groups to which the given end-user device is assigned, wherein performing the partial policy determinations comprises defining, in an order based at least in part on the ranking of the groups, security-related settings from the two or more groups, until all security-related settings required by the policy are defined; and outputting the policy to the given end-user device.
