Abstract
Systems and methods include, subsequent to performing auto segmentation on a network that includes a set of policies of allowable and block communications, observing communication between a plurality of hosts on the network; determining unassigned communication paths based on the observing that are either blocked because of a lack of a policy of the set of policies or because there is no policy of the set of policies for coverage thereof; and assigning the unassigned communication paths to corresponding policies of the set of policies. The assigning can be based on heuristics. The assigning can be performed without reperforming auto segmentation.
