About Group Types

Group Types provide a quick way to create new groups that are preconfigured to perform specific kinds of work on the machines contained in them.

EXAMPLE  If you want a group to contain machines where you want to detect and remediate SSH keys using remote SSH connections, you would select the Agentless SSH Key Management group type when defining a new group.

Which group type is available to you depends on which Trust Protection Platform components you have installed.
