A bridge component is interposed between a content targeting portion of a computerized content management system and a security portion of the system. the content targeting portion has a plurality of targeting segments defined therein. The bridge component creates a plurality of corresponding security groups for at least a subset of the plurality of targeting segments for which pre-existing security groups have not been created. For the targeting segments, accessing, with the bridge component, underlying logic used by the content targeting portion to create the targeting segments, and use the logic to determine whether each potential group member matches the logic. Add at least those of the potential group members that match the logic, and are not already present, to an appropriate one of the corresponding security groups; remove those that do not match. Apply security to the resulting updated security groups with the security portion, and distribute content accordingly.
