Abstract
According to one or more embodiments of the disclosure, a networking device receives a policy for an endpoint in a network. The policy specifies one or more component tags and one or more activity tags that were assigned to the endpoint based on deep packet inspection of traffic associated with the endpoint. The networking device identifies a set of tags for a particular traffic flow in the network associated with the endpoint. The set of tags comprises one or more component tags or activity tags associated with the particular traffic flow. The networking device makes a determination that the particular traffic flow violates the policy based on the set of tags comprising a tag that is not in the policy. The networking device initiates, based on the determination that the particular traffic flow violates the policy, a corrective measure with respect to the particular traffic flow.
