Abstract:
An apparatus and method for centralized policy management of large-scale networks (221) of computational devices is disclosed. The apparatus includes a number of distributed clients (400) run on registered computers (201-203), gathering policy advisories (401) and reporting (405) relevance (403) to a system administrator (224). The system administrator may view the relevant messages (505) through a management interface (500) and deploy suggested actions to distributed clients (503), where the actions are executed to apply the solutions of the advisories (408).
