Firewall > App Rules
You must enable Application Control before you can use it. App Control and App Rules are both
enabled with global settings, and App Control must also be enabled on each network zone that
you want to control.
You can configure App Control policies from the Dashboard > App Flow Monitor page by
selecting one or more applications or categories and then clicking the Create Rule button. A
policy is automatically created on the Firewall > App Rules page, and can be edited just like
any other policy.
You can configure Application Control global blocking or logging policies for application
categories, signatures, or specific applications on the Firewall > App Control Advanced page.
Corresponding match objects are created. You can also configure match objects for these
application categories, signatures, or specific applications on the Firewall > Match Objects
page. The objects can be used in an App Rules policy, no matter how they were created.
You can configure policies in App Rules using the wizard or manually on the Firewall > App
Rules page. The wizard provides a safe method of configuration and helps prevent errors that
could result in unnecessary blocking of network traffic. Manual configuration offers more
flexibility for situations that require custom actions or policies.
The Firewall > App Rules page contains two global settings:
• Enable App Rules
• Global Log Redundancy Filter
