Illumio's automated policy recommendations are primarily based on what?

Illumio's automated policy recommendations are primarily grounded in observed traffic patterns and best practices. This approach allows Illumio to analyze real-time interactions between workloads within the network, identifying how applications and services communicate. By leveraging these traffic patterns, the system can recommend policies that enhance security while maintaining necessary connectivity. The focus on best practices also ensures that the recommended policies align with well-established security frameworks, promoting a robust defense against potential threats.

In this context, relying solely on previous user preferences or user feedback may not adequately capture the dynamic nature of network interactions and security needs. Furthermore, while external regulatory compliance is essential, it typically guides overall policy strategies rather than the specific automated recommendations generated by observing traffic. Thus, the combination of observed traffic and established best practices provides a practical basis for generating effective and relevant policy recommendations.
