The Best Practice Assessment (BPA) tool helps you understand your current level of Security policy capability adoption and helps you assess the maturity and effectiveness of your security posture. Adopting capabilities such as WildFire, Vulnerability Protection, SSL Decryption, etc., contributes to detecting and preventing attacks. Developing a solid understanding of how and where to use each capability in different environments is critical to understanding how to best protect your network and its valuable assets.

Getting Started with Best Practices shows how to access and run the BPA. The Capability Adoption Heatmaps section of the BPA report enables you to review the adoption of these capabilities across the Security policy rulebase. Watch the Introduction to Heatmaps video to learn about Heatmaps, and take advantage of the BPA video library and the BPA+ video library to learn more about the tool.

Review and analyze the information on the Heatmap tabs to identify gaps in security capability adoption and determine what you want to improve:
