What is the main criterion for generating rules using Policy Generator?

The main criterion for generating rules using the Policy Generator is based on traffic flows. This is because the Policy Generator analyzes network flows to understand how different services and applications communicate with each other. By capturing and examining these traffic patterns, the Policy Generator can create rules that reflect the actual interactions occurring within the environment. This ensures that policies are tailored to the specific needs and behaviors of the applications, allowing for more effective security measures.

Traffic flows provide a detailed view of which endpoints communicate, the volume of data exchanged, and the protocols used, all of which are crucial for defining appropriate access controls. In contrast, other factors such as user roles, system performance, and application dependencies may influence policy decisions but do not form the foundational basis for rule generation in the same way traffic flows do. By focusing on actual communication patterns, the generated policies are more aligned with real-world use cases, enhancing both security and operational efficiency.
