A HIP Profile is a collection of host information profile objects that
are evaluated together, either for monitoring or for security policy enforcement.
When you create your HIP Profiles, you can combine the HIP objects and HIP Profiles
you previously created by using Boolean logic, such that when a traffic flow is
evaluated against the resulting HIP Profile, it either matches or does not match. If
there is a match, the corresponding policy rule is enforced. If there is no match,
the flow is evaluated against the next rule, as with any other policy matching
criteria.
