How is inventory classification used in managing policies?
The ESP Agent collects a comprehensive hardware and software inventory from the host on which it resides. This data can be used to define host groups (based on the presence, or absence, of specific applications, files, patches, CPU type, hardware devices, etc.). The host groups can then be used as targets for policy deployment. Change in inventory can also be used to automatically trigger access control requirements. For example, a policy might be deployed to prohibit the installation of an instant messaging application. If the policy is violated, the ESP agent will deny access to certain specific resources that you have defined.
