The option enables continuous discovery of new resources in LDAP, AWS and VMWare sources with the options to validate the source data, update the asset database while applying metadata, intelligent tagging rules, and triggering script executions.
The continuous discovery follows flexible schedule specifications with the options to limit hours or days to run the import process.
The option simplifies design of microsegmentation policies by automatically partitioning assets based on the network connections collected from the asset endpoints, asset tagging (optionally) and analytical models defining segmentation parameters.
The application visualizes automatically generated partitions (clusters) on the Network Traffic Flow chart to suggests the ways to enhance asset tagging and create segmentation policies.
Network architects might try various analytical models to find the best approach to network segmentation such as partitioning the network on few broad segments as opposed to many fine-grained ones, to consider tagging for automatic partitioning or to rely mostly on the existing network traffic.
Automatic segmentation suggestions provide a good option to understand the network structure, resource dependencies, and to refine segmentation policies started with the suggested point.
