Custom node and profile classifications for enterprise security management tool

Methods and systems for configuring a security policy for an enterprise within an enterprise security management tool are disclosed. In some aspects, such systems receive a definition of at least one custom classification within a user interface of the enterprise security management configuration tool, including a name of a profile and network activity associated with one or more nodes to be included within the profile. Such systems also generate a security settings file to be applied within the enterprise, the security settings file including, for each profile, a common security policy to each of the nodes included in the profile. The profiles to which the security settings file is applied include the profile defined by the at least one custom classification.
