Change Verification Best Practices

Consider the following best practices when implementing change verification:

• Define a small number of policies.
• Avoid the use of negative logic (exclamation point in a policy pattern).
• A single CI update save should match a small number of policies.
• Organize policies in a numerically tiered structure.
• Use Log Only Mode policies before you implement a change verification policy.
• Minimize overlapping policies, where multiple policies manage a single attribute being updated.
• Limit the number of Incidents that CACF creates.
• Implement archive and purge of CACF data.
