You can create various types of policy rules to protect your network from
threats and disruptions. It helps you optimize network resource allocation and manage
your policy rules to prioritize traffic and configure application classifications.
Cloud NGFW evaluates rules from top to bottom and when traffic matches against
the defined rule criteria, subsequent rules are not evaluated. You should order more
specific policy rules above the more generic ones to enforce the best match criteria
possible. A log is generated for traffic that matches a policy rule when logging is
enabled for the rule. Logging options are configurable for each rule.
Best practice policy rules are available for most policy types and help you to
get started quickly and securely. While these rules can't be edited to ensure that you
always have a minimum level of security readily available, you can clone them if you
want to use them as a foundation for customizing your policy.
