Application criteria

Create applications manually or maintain them automatically with dynamic criteria.

You can define and group assets into applications using two primary methods:

• New Application: Manually build an application by selecting starting assets from either the code side (VCS repositories) or the run side (cloud providers, Kubernetes clusters, or VPCs). Cortex XDR automatically identifies and adds related assets based on their connections.
• New Criteria: Automatically create and maintain applications in bulk by defining dynamic rules. You can base these criteria on Cloud tags (such as AWS tags grouping assets within a single provider), or VCS entities (automatically generating applications based on your code hierarchy, such as GitHub organizations or repositories).

Go to Inventory → Assets → Configurations → Application Criteria to add a new application or new criteria.
