Abstract
In a segmented network environment, a segmentation server assigns labels to workloads to enable the segmentation server to implement a segmentation policy based on label-based rules. A first set of labels associated with one or more label dimensions may be assigned in a secure manner by automatically assigning the labels based on a pairing profile. A second set of labels associated with different label dimensions may be assigned automatically based on workload attributes. An administrator can manage which label dimensions are assigned in a secure way based on the pairing profile and which labels are assigned in an adaptable way based on workload attributes, thereby enabling the administrator to flexibly manage the tradeoff between adaptability and security.
