What is the primary goal of classification policies?

The primary goal of classification policies is to determine the ownership and manageability of detected devices. This is essential because understanding who owns a device and whether it can be managed effectively is critical for network security and administration. By identifying the ownership, the network administrator can implement appropriate access controls, security measures, and compliance protocols tailored specifically to the type of device and its owner. This classification aids in policy enforcement, ensuring that devices adhere to security standards, and enhances overall visibility and control over what devices are connected to the network.

Other options, while important in their own right, do not encapsulate the primary objective of classification policies. Enhancing security protocols, tracking device locations, or categorizing devices by their operating systems are related tasks but stem from the more fundamental need to establish and manage device ownership and control.
