Abstract
Increasing use of web-based applications or Software-as-a-Service and IoT devices within enterprise networks increases the variety of network traffic and variables for consideration in managing security posture, which includes policy management. A security posture management system as disclosed herein leverages application identification and device discovery from ongoing collection and analysis of network traffic data to manage policies at device granularity allowing tailored security posture management. The system can tailor policies to handle network traffic depending on identified application and device type inputs obtained from the ongoing collection and analysis. The security posture management system can configure SD-WAN construct based parameters of a policy to tailor policies for different application traffic from different types of devices.
