Security Policies & Firewall Objects
Security policies and firewall objects are used to tell the FortiGate unit which traffic
should be allowed and which should be blocked.
No traffic can pass through a FortiGate unit unless specifically allowed to by
a security policy. With a security policy, you can control the addresses and
services used by the traffic and apply various features, such as security profiles,
authentication and VPNs.
Firewall objects are those elements within the security policy that further dictate how
and when network traffic is routed and controlled. This includes addresses,services,
and schedules.
This section contains the following examples:
Ordering security policies to allow different access levels
Controlling when BYOD users can access the Internet
Using port forwarding on a FortiGate unit
