Configuration

The first step in using Superna Data Security Essentials involves laying out a strategy for managing users' file and directory operations.

Before proceeding, it is essential to understand the underlying policy-based rules engine: Superna Smart Policy Manager™.

Superna Smart Policy Manager™ monitors users' file and directory operations, offering a customized solution tailored to an organization's specific needs. Whether management is structured by geography, administrative unit, or machine class, this tool adapts to suit various management modes.

Many companies prefer a mixed approach, such as combining geography, department, and machine type. Superna Smart Policy Manager™ provides the necessary flexibility to simplify the usage of Superna Data Security Essentials.

Once the management structure is established, Superna Smart Policy Manager™ replicates policies across the enterprise. Machines within the network access these policies through their containers, inheriting policies from all levels of the organizational hierarchy. This eliminates the need to configure and manage machines individually.

When configuring the installed software, start with the top-level container under the root organization (e.g., My Site). This is the Global Network configuration, automatically created during installation.
