Complete the following tasks to set up your company environment.
Enroll devices
To complete the product setup and protect your devices from threats, you must enroll your devices in SEP Cloud. As an administrator, you can enroll your own devices, devices that you prepare for other users, and servers.
See Supported devices.
As devices complete the enrollment process, data starts to appear on the dashboard. You can go to the dashboard now and start monitoring your environment.
Create user accounts
When you create user accounts for your employees, users receive an email that invites them to create their password and enroll their own devices in SEP Cloud. You can create users in SEP Cloud or sync to users in a supported cloud identity provider.
See SEP Cloud end user experience.
Do you want to sync users from your identity provider?
Evaluate your security needs
In SEP Cloud, security policies are always applied to groups, and all users and devices in a group inherit the policy settings. SEP Cloud comes with a default security policy that is applied to a default group. This may be all you need to meet your security requirements.
See Understanding security policies.
But in some cases, you may need to customize your protection. For example:
Some of your users have different security needs.
If so, create new policies and groups to accommodate them.
You want to use encryption.
The default security policy cannot be modified, and encryption is disabled in it. So to use encryption, create and configure a new security policy.
You want to manage protection of your servers independently.
If so, create a separate policy and group for your servers.
Do the default policy and group meet your needs?
If your subscription includes support for mobile devices, you can create policies to control access to company resources from mobile devices.
See Managing access to company assets and resources.
Do you want to control user access to company resources?
Configure support for mobile devices
Modern devices require varying levels of configuration for full support. All mobile devices require Mobile Device Management (MDM), and some mobile operating systems have additional requirements.
If your subscription includes support for mobile devices, MDM is enabled by default in SEP Cloud. No MDM setup is required.
But if you already use a third-party MDM tool for mobile device management, you can disable the built-in Symantec MDM.
Do you want to configure SEP Cloud to work with a third-party MDM tool?
