A computing device (e.g., a policy management server) obtains a segmentation policy that includes a set of rules for controlling network traffic between workloads. The computing device also receives infrastructure feedback regarding configuration of third-party network infrastructure. The computing device uses the infrastructure feedback to identify a discrepancy between the segmentation policy and the configuration of the third-party network infrastructure and triggers a corrective action in response. The corrective action may include providing a notification or suggestive remedy for the discrepancy to the user or automatically remedying the discrepancy.

Segmentation using infrastructure policy feedback

A policy management server manages a segmentation policy and automatically configures an enclave protection device consistently with the segmentation policy so that that the segmentation policy can be enforced with respect to workloads within a secure enclave protected by the enclave protection device. The policy management server identifies protected workloads that are members of a secure enclave and external workloads that are external to the secure enclave. The policy management server identifies cross-boundary rules of the segmentation policy affecting traffic between the protected workloads and external workloads. The policy management server generates and distributes a configuration of the enclave protection device to enable enforcement of the cross-boundary rules pertaining to traffic passing through the enclave protection device.
