ABSTRACT:
The invention is a system and method for applying a uniform network security policy. The security policy is described using a computer-readable file. The computer-readable file may be filtered and/or translated into other files that may be used as inputs to security devices. An example of one such security device is a remote system security controller, which is responsible for ensuring that remote devices outside the corporate network enforce the corporate security policy. In addition, the system is capable of updating the security policy of all network components based on feedback received from one or more devices.
