01
Define the operating scope
Include Route Endlets, Service Endlets, identity services, machine-state signals in a representative operating scope.
Military & Defense
Continuously validated nodes · Briefing
Define the operating requirements for continuously validated nodes.
Admit machines and workloads only after identity and state satisfy policy, then continuously reassess participating nodes.
Primary capability
EdgeControl
Operational outcome
Define the operating constraint, systems, and decision.
Restrict fabric participation to machines and workloads that satisfy the defined identity and state policy.
02
Trace the protected path
machine identity and state → policy evaluation → fabric admission or denial → continuous reassessment → revocation when policy is no longer satisfied
03
Review the decision
Determine whether admission, continuous reassessment, and revocation behave as defined for representative compliant and noncompliant nodes.
Outcome readiness
Define the systems and constraints for continuously validated nodes.
Give network, security, and operational teams one service path to review and one decision to make.
Include Route Endlets in the selected scope.
Include Service Endlets in the selected scope.
Include identity services in the selected scope.
Include machine-state signals in the selected scope.
Include admission policy in the selected scope.
Include EdgeControl in the selected scope.
Inputs
Route Endlets, Service Endlets, identity services, machine-state signals, admission policy, EdgeControl
Path
machine identity and state → policy evaluation → fabric admission or denial → continuous reassessment → revocation when policy is no longer satisfied
Evidence
validation evidence, authorization decisions, policy release, key release, route participation, re-attestation, and revocation events
