Automated Rule Usage Analysis turn insights into governed action
Opinnate transforms rule usage outputs into an approval-driven automation workflow—creating tighter rules above broad ones so policies become cleaner and safer over time.
Broad Rule
Catch-all rules with wide permissions
Usage Analysis
Monitor actual traffic patterns
Tighter Rules
New precise rules based on usage
Broad Rule Retired
Safe removal after coverage confirmed
The Problem
Broad “catch-all” rules keep business running but increase risk and become hard to remove—because nobody knows the exact real usage patterns.
The Output
Opinnate uses observed usage to propose narrower rules, routes them through approval, and applies them automatically—so broad rules can be phased out safely.
Progressive hardening without disrupting applications
Reduced over-permissive access and policy clutter
Traceable, governed changes instead of manual guesswork
Each use case links to related capabilities and editions.
Analyze usage and generate candidates
Opinnate identifies how broad rules are actually used and generates candidate 'tighter' rules based on observed traffic patterns.
Review and approve (governed process)
Proposed rules are presented for review with evidence (usage context and impact), then move through an approval step before execution.
Automate deployment and phase out broad rules
Approved rules are added above the broad rules. Over time, as coverage is confirmed, broad rules become removable or disable-ready—resulting in a cleaner policy.
A tailored walkthrough based on your vendors, policy volume, and governance requirements.
