Apex One Firewall policies allow you to block or allow certain types of network traffic not specified in a policy exception. A policy also defines which Apex One Firewall features are enabled or disabled. Assign a policy to one or multiple Firewall profiles.
With Active Directory integration and role-based administration, each user role, depending on the permission, can create, configure, or delete policies for specific domains.
The following table outlines the settings available when configuring a firewall policy.
