Importing a Security Zone Matrix

A security zone matrix is a list of the security zones in your environment and what traffic is allowed between the zones. You can define the matrix with requirements from industry standards, such as NERC CIP v5, to maintain continuous compliance.

In a Multi-Domain deployment, a Super Admin can create a security zone matrix for the Global context that uses global zones to find violations across domains.

When you import a security zone matrix file to a security zone matrix that already has a security zone matrix, the previous matrix is replaced by the new matrix. All of the violations of the previous matrix are removed from the Violations browser, and the violations are recalculated for the new matrix when the a new revision is received or when the network topology is synchronized.

Prerequisites

Use a text editor such as Notepad to specify the details of the security zone matrix in a CSV file and import the file to SecureTrack. After you import the security zone matrix, the relationships between security zones are shown.
