Policy Auditor components and what they do

McAfee Policy Auditor 5.0 consists of three components that enable you to analyze managed

systems for compliance with authoritative, open source complicance standards.

• Policy Auditor — manages all aspects of analyzing managed systems for compliance.

• Policy Auditor Agent Plug-in — The agent plug-in extends the McAfee agent as a vehicle

of information between the server and each managed system. The agent receives audits

from Policy Auditor, ensures that audits are run as scheduled, and returns the results to

Policy Auditor.

• Benchmark Editor — This tool allows you to manage and create benchmarks. Benchmarks

contain information about the desired state of the managed system.

Policy Auditor

McAfee Policy Auditor analyzes managed systems to determine whether they comply with

user-defined audits. Audits are composed of benchmarks that are generally supplied by McAfee,

but may be imported from third-party sources or created by yourself using Benchmark Editor.

You must activate received or imported benchmarks in Benchmark Editor before you can use

them in audits. Benchmarks contain rules that describe the desired state of a managed system.

Policy Auditor Agent Plug-in

The Policy Auditor Agent is a plug-in to the McAfee Agent. It extends the features of the McAfee

Agent to support Policy Auditor. When audits are deployed to the McAfee Agent, the Policy

Auditor Agent Plug-in decides when the audits can be run. The Agent Plug-in conducts the

audits at the appropriate time and returns the results to the ePO server. The Policy Auditor

Agent Plug-in can even conduct audits when the managed system is off the network and then

return results to the ePO server once the system is re-attached to the network.

Benchmark Editor

Benchmark Editor allows you to create and edit benchmarks. Benchmarks contain rules that

define the state of a managed system. The ePO server automatically provides benchmarks to

the Benchmark Editor. Normally, you activate the benchmarks when they are received so that

they can be used in audits.

Tailoring is a way to customize certain aspects of benchmarks. You can tailor McAfee-provided

benchmarks but you cannot edit them. You may also create your own benchmarks or import

them from third-party sources. Benchmarks that are not supplied by McAfee may be tailored

or edited.
