Managing The Access Policy; Configuring The Firewall Access Policy And Blade - Quantum SPARK 2000 Administration Manual

Managing the Access Policy

This section describes how to set up and manage your Quantum Spark appliance Access
Policy.
Configuring the Firewall Access Policy and
Blade
In the Access Policy > Firewall Blade Control page you can set the default Access Policy
control level, set the default applications and URLs to block and allow secure browsing, and
configure User Awareness.
The Access Policy is a set of rules that defines the security requirements for your appliance
for incoming, internal, and outgoing traffic.
The Access Policy includes:
n Firewall Policy - Defines how to inspect packets.
n Application & URL Filtering - Defines how to control Internet browsing and application
usage.
The Access Policy > Firewall Blade Control page lets you easily define the default policy for
your organization. In addition, you can define and view the rule based policy in the Access
Policy > Firewall Policy page. Configurations in the Firewall Blade Control page are shown
as automatically generated system rules at the bottom of the Rule Base. We recommend you
use the Access Policy > Firewall Policy page to define manual rules that are exceptions to the
default policy defined in this page.
The Access Policy > Firewall Blade Control page defines the default policy for incoming,
internal, and outgoing traffic to and from your organization. In addition, the Access Policy >
Firewall Servers page lets you easily define the default access policy for specific servers
within your organization and automatically generated system rules are also defined.
