SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
After creating a signature-based match object, create a new App Rules policy of type App
Control Content that uses the match object. The example below shows a policy which uses the
newly created “Napster/LimeWire P2P” match object to drop all Napster and LimeWire traffic.
Logging Application Signature-Based Policies
As with other match object policy types, logging can be enabled on application content policies.
By default, these logs are displayed in the standard format, showing the Application Control
policy that triggered the alert/action. To obtain more detail about the log event, select the Log
using App Control message format checkbox in the App Control Policies Settings screen for
that policy.
Compliance Enforcement
Many businesses and organizations need to ensure compliance with their policies regarding
outbound file transfer. Application Control provides this functionality in HTTP, FTP, POP3, and
SMTP contexts. This can help companies meet regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, SOX,
and PCI.
