Cyber Security - Palo Alto Security Policies

Posted 2021-03-05 keepmoving1113

Security policies:

• Enforcing network traffic by configuring rules of what is allowed or denied to communicate between logical network segments (zones)
• Traffic can be policed with the following parameters:
  • IP Address (source and/or destination)
  • Users
  • Services(ports)
  • Applications

 

 (From Packt)

• Enforcement hierarchy:
  • Is essential to understand the security policy order of enforcement to avoid policy overruling
  • "A clean policy table limits the possibility of policy overruling"
