What action should be taken for endpoints that are labeled as "Unclassified"?

Endpoints labeled as "Unclassified" often indicate that their security status or compliance has not yet been determined or documented within the network. The action of categorizing these endpoints by creating appropriate sub-rules allows for a more structured approach to managing security posture. This method not only helps in identifying vulnerabilities and compliance issues but also enables administrators to apply specific security policies tailored to the characteristics of these unclassified devices.

By implementing sub-rules, organizations can streamline the process of classification and ensure that unclassified endpoints are treated according to their unique security profiles, which is critical for maintaining a secure network environment. This proactive approach aids in risk management and enhances overall security by ensuring that all devices are accounted for and properly monitored.

Choosing to monitor unclassified endpoints without any changes does not address the potential risks they may pose. Similarly, disconnecting these endpoints from the network could lead to unnecessary disruption and hinder operational efficiency, while immediate classification might not be feasible without the appropriate sub-rules already in place.
