Zusammenfassung:A management entity discovers security devices connected to a network. Each security device controls access to resources by devices associated with the security device according to a corresponding native security policy that is based on a corresponding native policy model associated with the security device. The management entity imports the native security policies from the corresponding security devices over the network, and normalizes the imported native security policies across the security devices based on a generic policy model, to produce normalized security policies that are based on the generic policy model and representative of the native security polices. The management entity receives security events from the security devices, and processes the received security events among the security devices based on the normalized security policies.
