JP1/Client Security Control is a program that implements a series of operations management (client security management) tasks, from management of client asset information to client monitoring and handling of security risks. You can enhance your system's security by installing JP1/Client Security Control.

A client security management system employing JP1/Client Security Control uses inventory information collected by JP1/Software Distribution to monitor the client's security status. If there is any problem with security, the system can issue a warning message and take appropriate action for the risk level, such as denying network connection requests.

To link with JP1/Client Security Control, you must install Asset Information Manager Subset, which is a JP1/Software Distribution component.
