Edit Application Network Policy Rules

Lets see how to edit application network policy rules for Zscaler CloudBlade.
Once the CloudBlade configures the appropriate Standard VPN objects within Prisma SD-WAN and Zscaler, the administrator can reference the path (Standard VPN) and service group (Zscaler) within application network policies. The ION devices will make intelligent per-app path selections using the network policies to chain multiple path options together in Active-Active and Active-Backup modes.
Example:
  • Application A: Take Standard VPN direct to Zscaler.
  • Application B: Take Standard VPN direct to Zscaler; Backup to Direct Internet.
  • Application C: Go to Internet via Prisma SD-WAN Data Center; Backup to Standard VPN direct to Zscaler.
  • Application D: Use only Direct Internet.
The Prisma SD-WAN Secure Application Fabric (AppFabric) enables granular controls for virtually unlimited number of policy permutations down to the sub-application level. Here are some of the most common examples of how traffic policy can be configured per application:
  • Send all internet-bound traffic from a set of branches to a Zscaler datacenter. (Blanket Greylist)
  • Send all internet-bound traffic from a set of branches to a Zscaler datacenter with the exception of specific known applications. (Greylist-Whitelist)
  • Send all internet traffic direct to the internet except for certain applications needing additional inspection or security. (Whitelist-Greylist)
