Identify Rules to Improve

Determine the Security policy rules you need to tighten to improve security using using the Best Practice Assessment tool.
After you identify a gap in security policy capability adoption, use the
Adoption Heatmap
Rule Detail
view to list rules that require further investigation or remediation. Configure
Local Filters
