  • Configuring a security setting for a set of devices using a security policy
    Patent number: 9361432
    Abstract: A system and method for configuring security settings for devices is described. The system determines a security policy to regulate the use of a set of devices, including a first device and a second device. Support information for the first device and the second device can be determined. The security policy is implemented on each of the first device and the second device by selecting, based on the respective support information, a first security mechanism for the first device and a different second security mechanism for the second device, and configuring the first device with the first security mechanism and the second device with the second security mechanism.
