Abstract

A management entity generates selectable security policy classifications each identifying security policies that share common security rules. Each of the security policies is applied by a corresponding one of different security devices to control access to a resource. The management entity creates a new policy template that includes all of the security policies identified by selected ones of the policy classification selections and then creates a new security policy based on the new policy template. The management entity applies the new security policy to a security device over a network.
