Abstract
Methods and systems for assigning security settings to one or more nodes within an enterprise network are disclosed. One method includes receiving network concordance data at an enterprise security management configuration tool from a plurality of nodes within an enterprise network, and receiving, in a configuration user interface, a selection of an affinitization level selected from a plurality of discrete affinitization levels, each of the discrete affinitization levels corresponding to a different extent to which nodes within an enterprise are grouped into profiles. The method also includes automatically grouping each of the plurality of nodes identified in the network concordance data into a plurality of profiles based on the selected affinitization level, and applying a common security policy to each of the nodes included in one of the plurality of profiles.
