    Clients that require hardening for Legacy systems, especially running business critical applications. Also when clients run business critical systems or systems exposed to public facing networks and need extra layer of defense for attack surface reduction. Lastly, works well for image building as well.
    Would be careful for using DCS for systems where application owners or system administrators is not fully aware of what exactly is running on the systems since if policies are not properly scoped when building, it can break a system resulting in downtime, especially for critical systems. Lastly but not least, proper testing before enabling a prevention policy is a must have.
