First: who administers these machines?
Before a single wall goes up, one rule has to exist — the one that keeps you able to reach a machine after everything else is shut. Nothing else on this page is safe to switch on until it does, because everything not allowed is stopped, and that includes the way you get in to fix it.
This is not worked out from the traffic. Which addresses count as administrative, and which services you use to get in, are your decisions — so they are asked for, not guessed. The lists below are filled from this export.
Where the traffic goes
the whole network on one picture
Each card is a group of machines. Each line is traffic between two of them, coloured by how much it matters. Click a group to see only its traffic, or a line to see what is on it.
More about this picture
Every card is one label value, and the dashed outline around a row is the environment those groups sit inside — that nesting is the order the rules are written in. Use Group by at the top to widen or narrow it: environment is the coarsest view, role the finest. A dashed line means traffic was attempted but nothing ever completed a connection. Where there is too much to draw at once, the map shows the most serious and says so underneath.
Where to start
which group to take first
Ordered by how much exposure each one removes against how many rules you have to get right first. Take them one at a time — write it, try it, turn it on, watch it. Click one to see it on the map.
Sorted by what would hurt most, not by what is loudest in the data. Click a group name on any of them to see it on the map.
One row for each pair of groups and the port between them. Click any heading to sort, or a row for the full detail.
| How serious ▾ | From | To | Port | What it is | Connections | Amount | What it means |

Every port seen, and how much of a way in it is. Click a port to see everything using it.
Where the risk rating comes from
It combines what the ColorTokens console already says about each port with the published industry guidance on the ports attackers use to move from machine to machine.
| Risk ▾ | Port | What it is | How the console classes it | Connections | Dropped | Times seen | Why it matters |

Every machine, with its labels and its enforcement state. In and out are enforcement, one per direction: green is on, red is off. An amber label is one that is not set. Click a heading to sort, or a group to see it on the map.
Things that work today and have no rule. Go through each one with its owner before you switch anything on.
