• Assign licenses to users and servers within the management console. Map the entitlement to the devices and accounts in your environment to enable centralized risk management coverage. This may involve importing device lists, synchronizing with directory services, or enrolling new endpoints as needed, depending on your deployment model.
• Configure risk policies and enable the Managed Risk features appropriate for your environment.
