Techniques for enabling a network access provider to make automatic Software as a Service (SaaS) optimization decisions. Among other things, the techniques may include determining a SaaS application that is being accessed by client endpoints via flows through a network access provider. The techniques may also include determining, based at least in part on a policy associated with the network access provider, whether to enable network optimizations for traffic through the network access provider to the SaaS application. Based at least in part on a determination that the network optimizations are to be enabled for the traffic to the SaaS application, the techniques may include installing a service definition associated with the SaaS application in a service policy database of the network access provider.

Automatic SAAS optimization

The present disclosure is directed to managing industrial internet of things end points and includes one or more processors and one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media coupled to the one or more processors and comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause one or more switches to perform operations comprising: identifying a first end point using a protocol associated with the first end point, determining a classification for the identified first end point based on one or more attributes of the first end point, identifying one or more related end points having the classification in common with the first end point, segmenting the first end point with the identified one or more related end points, and applying one or more policies to the segmented first end point and the one or more related end points.
