What is the PCE web console?

The PCE web console serves as the primary user interface for managing Illumio. It provides users with access to configure, monitor, and manage security policies and visibility within the environment. Through the web console, administrators can interact with the policy compute engine (PCE), visualize application dependencies, and audit security configurations. This centralized interface is designed to enable users to easily navigate various functionalities, such as policy creation, adjustments, and monitoring of security compliance across their organization's assets.

While data storage, traffic analysis, and policy enforcement are critical components of the Illumio architecture, they are not the primary purpose of the PCE web console. Instead, they may be facilitated by or interact with the web console. The emphasis on managing and visualizing security policies underscores the importance of the PCE web console in maintaining an effective security posture within a network.
