Time-sensitive security policy changes carry the high risk of introducing errors, misconfigurations, or conflicts into the rulebase, requiring slow and complex manual audit processes. Policy integrity is difficult to maintain at scale, leading to decreased performance and potential security gaps. Strata Cloud Manager introduces Policy Analyzer, enabling administrators to optimize time and resources when implementing any change request. Policy Analyzer provides immediate, automated analysis of the security rulebase to ensure policy updates meet defined intent and technical requirements. It proactively checks for anomalies, such as Shadows, Redundancies, Generalizations, Correlations, and Consolidations, that otherwise require labor-intensive manual checking. By identifying conflicting or duplicate rules before deployment, Policy Analyzer streamlines change management, reduces the risk of misconfiguration, and ensures the continued performance and integrity of your network security posture.
