Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and processes for facilitating a first-time user experience for a workload protection solution are described herein. This can be done through a segmentation setup assistant that can be configured to gather data related to a network and generate one or more prompts for a user to input data related to the network. This data can be associated with a network's organization, infrastructure, environment, and the like. For example, providing various internet protocol addresses and subnets related to different network devices, data centers, and applications can be utilized to generate an automated hierarchy and/or suggestions on how to properly segment and setup a network for workload protection. In this way, a user may be able to configure the system via the setup assistant and thus be more apt to correctly setup a network with a workload protection solution and provide a more optimal security outcome.
