+## Why does this exist?
 
+Like all software, security controls such as firewalls and network policies need validation to ensure they are working as intended. This is often done manually 
+as part of a one-off cyber-security review. Best practice is to configure automated checks that notify team members when a security control is not working as expected. 
+These can be as simple as a curl command in a cron job that tries to access a service that should be blocked and alerts if it succeeds. With Netchecks, you
+declare these checks declaratively and have them run automatically on a schedule, Netchecks will create PolicyReports that can be used for audit purposes, to trigger
+actions, alerts and notifications.
