Lab compliance
Organizations prefer having lab networks to test systems before deployment of
new solutions or equipment. Traffic from this zone to the primary network is
restricted so that operations in the lab setup do not disrupt the production
systems and networks. A policy enforcement at the connection between the
production systems and lab setup can ensure that only systems that comply to
the enterprise policy are allowed into the production network from a lab subnet.
Figure 3-14 shows a lab policy enforcement scenario.
