Step 3 - Configure Policy
- Click 'How-to' > 'Set up your roaming endpoints to Secure Internet Gateway' > 'Next' > 'Next' to open this step.
Step 3 explains the default policy, the rules you can build, and how to attach them in a policy.
You can create the rules you need, then bind them to your objects.
When you create your network, Secure Internet Gateway automatically applies a Default Security Policy to it, blocking malware, phishing and spyware sources. The default policy cannot be deleted.
Create the rules you need
Once your network is added, you can create:
- Category Rules ('Configure' > 'Category Rules' > 'Create Category Rule') - define rules for blocking or allowing domain categories.
- Security Rules ('Configure' > 'Security Rules' > 'Create Security Rule') - define security profiles.
- B/W Lists ('Configure' > 'B/W Lists' > 'Create B/W List') - create custom blacklists and whitelists.
Create the policy
- Click 'Configure' > 'Policy'.
- Click 'Add New Policy'.
- Type a name and select the network under 'Objects'.
- Click 'Next'.
- Select a Security Rule. You must select at least the Default Security Rule.
- Select a Category Rule if you want one. You can leave it empty as long as a Security Rule is selected.
- Tick any Domain B/W Lists you want to apply. 'Only B/W Mode' disables the Security and Category Rules.
- Click 'Add'.
Note: The built-in 'Default Security Rule' cannot be edited or deleted.
