Abstract
Devices, systems, methods, and processes for facilitating new application onboarding within a workload protection solution is described herein. As new applications are introduced into a system, users or network administrators may not be knowledgeable on how to properly onboard the application sufficient to effect proper segmentation, monitoring, and the like. Without proper onboarding, the system may not be optimized and can become less optimal over time as new applications are added. By automating at least a portion of that process, a more optimal system can be achieved. This automation may be achieved through a series of prompts to the user to input various characteristics about the application that can be utilized to generate a recommended policy to apply to the application in order to onboard it into the system. The policy can be reviewed, confirmed, and applied through a graphical user interface or the like.
