1.1 About Security and Configuration Policies

ZENworks includes three categories of policies: Windows security policies, Windows configuration policies, and Linux configuration policies. The security policies control security-related functionality for Windows workstation devices. The configuration policies control configuration settings for Windows and Linux devices.

ZENworks Endpoint Security Management uses all 11 security policies but only 3 of the configuration policies: Dynamic Local User policy, Windows Group policy, and ZENworks Explorer Configuration policy.

This guide helps you manage the security policies. For information about managing the configuration policies, see the ZENworks Configuration Policies Reference.
