What can a Recommendation Scan recommend alongside rule assignments?

A Recommendation Scan in Trend Micro Deep Security analyzes the current security posture of a system and can provide various recommendations based on the assessment of existing security rules. One key recommendation that can emerge from this analysis is the unassignment of rules that may no longer be relevant or applicable to the specific environment being scanned.

Unassignment of rules can help streamline security management by ensuring that only the most pertinent rules are active, which can enhance system performance and reduce potential conflicts between rules. This is particularly important in environments where security needs may change over time or where specific rules may become obsolete due to various factors such as updates or changes in infrastructure.

In contrast, the other suggestions—like the creation of new rules, automatic application of all rules, and deletion of existing rules—do not align directly with the typical focus of a Recommendation Scan. The objective is often to tweak existing configurations rather than automatically create, apply, or delete rules without due consideration.
