Automatically Route Rules

To automatically route rules from Security Manager to Policy Optimizer, you will first create a control and then create an assessment for that control in the Administration module; because only assessments route control failures to Policy Optimizer.

The following control types support Policy Optimizer: Allowed Services, Device Access Analysis, Network Access Analysis, Rule Search, Rule Usage, and Service Risk Analysis.

To automatically route rules, complete the following steps.

  1. Open the Administration module.
  2. On the toolbar, click Compliance > Controls.
  3. Select an existing control or create a new control.

Please refer to the Administration User's Guide for steps on creating a new control.

  1. Expand the <Control Type> Control Properties section.
  2. Select the Send Failed Rules to Policy Optimizer checkbox.

    Selecting the checkbox will allow the system to automatically create review tickets for all rules that fail the selected control.

  1. Click OK.
  2. Click Assessments, and then click Create.

Please refer to the Administration User's Guide for steps on creating a new assessment.

  1. Select the control you routed to Policy Optimizer in above from the Available Controls box.
  2. Continue building the assessment.
  3. Click Save.

    After failing, the rule appears in the list of tickets in Policy Optimizer .
