Assets Tagging

Assets tagging is the process through which a system, security, or a virtualization environment administrator associates tags to managed devices and security groups. By assigning tags the administrator can manage individual assets as groups to automate policy distribution and define administrative scoping.

To automate administration, each managed device inherits the tags that you add to the security group. You can define tagging rules based on the asset attributes, such as IP addresses range. You can also define tagging policies, which CA Access Control for Virtual Environments automatically distributes to all the members in the group.
