What is the purpose of the Selective Enforcement enforcement mode?

The purpose of the Selective Enforcement mode is to enable the Virtual Enforcement Node (VEN) to implement specific traffic rules while allowing other traffic to flow unrestricted. This mode provides flexibility by applying a targeted approach to enforcement, meaning that only defined rules are actively enforced, while other rules may not be applied at all.

This operational mode is particularly useful in environments where administrators may want to gradually implement policy changes or test certain security rules without completely blocking or allowing all traffic. It allows for a balanced approach to security and operational needs, aiding in optimizing performance and security policies. By selectively enforcing specific rules, organizations can protect sensitive areas of their network while still allowing necessary communication for business operations to continue unimpeded.
