Traffic Validation

• Confirm that switches are successfully forwarding telemetry and traffic to the Elisity Cloud Controller (CCC)
• Troubleshoot connectivity issues between switches and the CCC, escalating to Elisity support when needed
• Validate endpoint visibility and identity resolution within the CCC post-deployment

Device Grouping & Policy Support

• Assist security and operations teams in categorizing and grouping discovered devices within the Elisity platform
• Apply labels, tags, and group policies consistent with organizational segmentation standards
• Support the development and refinement of microsegmentation policies based on observed traffic patterns Required Qualifications
