It achieves this through various use cases that require specific policies to audit asset compliance and vulnerabilities. Show full answer Show less ## Use Cases Security Posture Control supports multiple use cases to assist in identifying coverage gaps, internet exposure of cloud assets, and vulnerabilities. Key use case coverage statuses can be viewed on the Home page of the Security Posture Control Workspace. While the Key use cases tab highlights essential use cases for initial setup, not all possible use cases are listed. ## Prerequisites Before activating policies for the supported use cases, ensure the following are completed: * Installation and configuration of required applications as specified in the installation guide. * Activation of service graph connectors for various categories to gain insights. * Activation of the Vulnerability Response application. * Configuration of Cloud Account Scan for AWS and Azure accounts. ## Policy Examples The application includes base, child, and cloned policy examples to facilitate policy management. These examples demonstrate how to reuse conditions from base policies while creating new ones, enhancing flexibility in policy creation. ## Supported Service Graph Connectors Detailed tables are available for supported service graph connectors, which categorize tools and specify the types of data they import. These connectors play a critical role in monitoring and improving coverage for assets within Security Posture Control. Use cases are different scenarios that you configure to help you identify specific types of tool coverage gaps. Each use case requires a policy or policies to audit your assets for potential violations. You can also define your own policies to help you fulfill requirements for your specific internal security standards. ## Use cases The Security Posture Control application supports various use cases that are included with the application. Use cases help you identify specific types of tool coverage gaps in your assets, internet exposure of cloud assets, and combinations with vulnerabilities. The policies that you need for the supported use cases are also included with the product. You can view the coverage status for some of the key use cases on the Home (landing) page in the Security Posture Control Workspace at WorkspacesSecurity Posture ControlHome on the Home module (landing page). Alternatively, you can view the supported service graph connectors and coverage status for some of the key use cases on the 'Service graph connectors supported' and 'Key use case setup' tabs at AllWorkspacesSecurity Posture ControlConnectors and use cases setup (the gear icon). Note: The Key use cases tab on the Home landing pages does not list all the possible use cases. It provides you with a few important use cases that you activate to help you get started with Security Posture Control product deployment. Before you activate policies for the supported use cases provided with the application verify you have completed the following tasks. * You have installed and configured all the required applications described in [Install the supported applications for Security Posture Control](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/c_npj1VfsbA8otpmMIDArQ "The applications required for this integration are available on the ServiceNow Store. Some applications have dependencies that you must download and install separately."). * You have met one or more of the following prerequisites for each use case.  {#spc-policies__ol_c4h_ydz_hyb} 1. You are currently using or you install and activate service graph connectors for various categories.Categories for the use cases include service graph connectors that you must activate to get initial insights, and  service graph connectors that you have the option to activate for improved coverage for the assets Security Posture Control  is monitoring. 2. You are currently using or you install and activate the Vulnerability Response application. 3. You are currently using or you configure the Cloud Account Scan for your AWS and Azure accounts under 'Cloud Security Posture Management'. {#spc-policies__ul_tc4_22z_hyb} Specific requirements for each supported use case are described in the following sections. Additionally, you must activate one or more of the policies shipped with Security Posture Control for a use case. This concept is also covered in the following sections. ## Examples of base, child, and cloned policies {#spc-policies__section_umt_45m_dcc} See [Examples of base, child, and cloned policies for Security Posture Control](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/3jRePf1q0A3v5nhKueUYRQ "You can create your own base policies that have broad sets of conditions that you can use as starting points for more complex policies.") and how you can reuse the conditions of a base policy when you create other policies. Create base, child policies and cloning existing policies in these examples. These examples also help you see how the policy builder works in the Policies and findings module. ## Supported service graph connectors {#spc-policies__section_lwy_v5m_dcc} See tables of supported service graph connectors, their tool categories, and the types of data they import in [Supported hardware service graph connectors for Security Posture Control](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/jrrwRJgGaAdg42dCDEzhNg "Supported Hardware service graph connectors with CI class, source (product), and tool categories. This list is not complete and is subject to change with the addition of more products.") and [Supported software service graph connectors for Security Posture Control](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/hsG2giJ3LAnPCNw56vziCw "Supported Software service graph connectors with CI class, source (product), and tool categories. This list is not complete and is subject to change with the addition of more products."). *[\>]: and then
