We intentionally designed Safe Access® to be implemented in phases. With a product this powerful, it's only logical to turn on the more sophisticated functionality, such as automated device remediation and automated quarantining, in a controlled way.

Understand policy compliance testing
Initially, we recommend rolling out Safe Access on just a few segments of your network and limiting functionally to compliance testing. You can place users in a Whitelist with Testing policy and see what kind of results you get. Do you need to fine tune your access polices? Do you need additional access polices for different classes of users? Does useful, actionable data stand out, or is it buried in white noise? Here's your opportunity to get Safe Access dialed in before deploying on a larger scale.

Now that you know what's broken, are you prepared to fix it?
Once you're comfortable with the data generated during device testing, you'll need to figure out your remediation approach. Which fixes can endusers implement on their own, which can be handled automatically through your patch manager, and which require intervention from your help desk? Once devices are fixed, evaluate the re-testing process. Are validation tests launching as expected and returning data that confirms the fixes have been successfully implemented?

Quarantine time
In the final stages of a Safe Access rollout, you implement your enforcement and quarantining strategies with "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" policies or the more stringent "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" policies. Initially we recommend you manually enforce noncompliance and evaluate the process from both a technical and a business perspective. Only after you're certain that the process and user experience meet your expectations should you turn on automated enforcement.
