8.1 What Is Security Management?
Why create a security policy?
• To create a baseline of your current security posture
• To set the framework for security implementation
• To define allowed and disallowed behaviors
• To help determine necessary tools and procedures
• To communicate consensus and define roles
• To define how to handle security incidents
The following security domains govern Cisco MGM networks:
• Cisco MGM client—A Cisco MGM client must be created with one of the existing default user
profiles or with a new custom user profile with appropriate access privileges. This new user profile
should be created and assigned to a user.
• Cisco MGM OSS users—OSS-to-Cisco MGM sessions are configured by the Cisco MGM CORBA
GateWay EMS-to-NMS interface architectural component. For more information about Cisco MGM
CORBA GateWay, see Chapter 12, “Managing CORBA Interfaces.”
