Overview

Connecting FortiPolicy to your security fabric automatically loads data on all the fabric’s workloads into FortiPolicy. This can be confirmed on the Insights > Workloads dashboard and the Insights > Maps views.

Configuring Policy Generation initiates a deeper process of discovery and analysis of all those workloads connections, which will automatically present you with a complete security policy proposal. The Action Steps then guide you through the process of reviewing, editing, approving, deploying, microsegmenting, testing, and enforcing security policies on your Security Fabric.

Policy Generation groups workloads into applications, application tiers, and deployment environments, like production and development, so that the sources and destinations in your deployed ACL rules are easily identified with the functions and roles they enable in your network.
