By default, every computer in your account is placed into a group called 

. You can create 

other groups to place them in instead. 

Why use groups? 
Groups help you manage large numbers of computers or computers that use different security 
settings (defined in policies). Groups are particularly helpful in larger organizations or 
companies that are widely distributed geographically. Placing similar computers into a single 
group enables you to view and manage security issues for the group separately from the other 
computers in your account. 

For example, you might place all laptops used by traveling sales representatives into a single 
group called Sales Team. Then you can configure special security settings for those computers 
to provide greater protection against threats in unsecure networks such as airports and hotels. 
You can also track the number of detections on those computers through more frequent reports 
and adjust the security settings as needed. See 

 for an illustration. 

How can I manage groups? 
Click the 

 tab to display the groups in your organization and the policies 

assigned to them. If you have not created any groups or policies, only the 

 group and the 

 policy are displayed.

The Default group 

Until you create additional groups, all computers where you install your security services are 
assigned to the 

 group. You cannot change the name of the 

 group. 

Computers are assigned to a group when protection services are installed. You can also move 
computers to different groups using the 

 page.
