When enabling Network Control Policies, what mode does it initially go into?

When enabling Network Control Policies, the initial mode is Monitor mode. This mode is designed to observe and log network traffic without taking any action to block or restrict it. The purpose of Monitor mode is to allow administrators to gather data on network activity, understand what traffic flows are occurring, and identify any potential issues or patterns before implementing stricter policies.

This approach provides valuable insights into how applications and users interact with the network, allowing for informed decision-making. By starting in Monitor mode, organizations can carefully assess the behaviors that occur on their networks and determine which connections may need to be allowed or blocked in subsequent policy adjustments. Monitoring traffic ensures that the enforcement of stricter controls does not inadvertently disrupt legitimate business activities.
