What is required to apply changes to tags effectively?

To effectively apply changes to tags, it is essential that the process allows for automatic application to endpoints. This means that when tags are modified or created within the system, these updates should promptly be reflected on all relevant endpoints without requiring manual intervention. This automation ensures that security policies associated with those tags can be enforced consistently across devices, maintaining compliance and enhancing security posture.

Automatic application to endpoints streamlines the management of security measures, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring that all endpoints are operating under the most up-to-date configurations. This capability also promotes efficiency since updates do not rely on manual processes or additional steps, allowing for quicker response times to any changes in the security landscape.

The other options involve processes that may not be necessary for simply applying tag changes: manual approval introduces delays and potential for backlog, policy redeployment could be more extensive than needed just for tag changes, and redistribution of software is a much larger-scale action that is typically not required when tags change.
