Abstract
Systems and methods include obtaining network communication information about hosts in a network and applications executed on the hosts; automatically generating one or more microsegments in the network based on analysis of the obtained network communication information, wherein each microsegment of the one or more microsegments is a grouping of resources including the hosts and the applications executed on the hosts that have rules for network communication; automatically generating a meaningful name for the one or more microsegments based on a plurality of techniques applied to information associated with the hosts; and displaying the automatically generated one or more microsegments and the corresponding automatically generated meaningful name.
