How to Tag Object Resources
Object resources are found in the Inventory page of the Multicloud Defense dashboard. Tagging these resources can improve your firewall policies with enhanced efficiency, scalability, and visibility of network security management.
Be aware that you can only tag the following object resources:
-
Subnets
-
VPCs/VNets
-
Instances
Use the following procedure to implement resource tagging:
Before you begin
This procedure utilizes tags and resources that are already created. If your tenant does not already have inventory resources or tags available to use, create them first. See Inventory and Tags for more information. Note that you may have to enable asset discovery to allow Multicloud Defense access to assets and objects in your cloud service povider accounts if you have not already.
Procedure
Step 1 | In the Security Cloud Control platform menu, choose . |
Step 2 | Navigate to the tab and select the object resource of your choice from the list of resources above that support tagging. |
Step 3 | Select at least one rule from the table of rules and then click Add Tags. You can select multiple rules if you want to add the same tag to more than one at a time. |
Step 4 | In the Tags window, expand the drop-down menu of the Key column and select one of the available options. Missing a Tag? If you do not see the Key that you want to use in this situation, click your cursor into the drop-down menu field and manually type the desired name of the key and click the "+Add" button to the immediate right of the text field. This tag is only applicable to the resource you manually tag it to and is not available in the drop-dow menu after saving the object. |
Step 5 | Manually enter a value in the Value column. |
Step 6 | Confirm the values of the tag and the selected resources. If the selections are satisfactory, click Save. Optionally, click Cancel to remove the configuration. |
