Zone configurations in Vantage

An explanation of security zones and zone configurations.

Security zones are segmented sections of a network that limit access to the network's assets. The assets in each zone share some commonality that maps to a meaningful organizing principle used to categorize your assets. For example, the assets that compose an individual production line in a factory might be segmented into their own zone. In this case, you could create a zone configuration for each production line.

In Vantage, a zone configuration includes criteria that identify the assets that should belong to the zone. The configuration also specifies how Vantage handles these assets.

Zone configurations are propagated to sensors which receive the configuration. Your sensors rely on these configurations to categorize assets.

Zone configurations determine how Vantage categorizes and handles the segmentation of the assets and nodes on your network.
