Create an application filter

An application filter is a reusable object that allows you to organize and manage applications efficiently for use in policies that require application matching.

An application filter does these:

  • Simplifies application control and policy management.

  • Groups applications based on type, risk, business relevance, category, and tags.

  • Supports policies such as access control, QoS, intelligent application bypass, and decryption.

Application filter configuration options

  • Use the system-provided filters to find applications. Select the desired applications and click Add to Rule.

  • To remove an application from the filter, click the delete icon next to it.

  • Click the info icon next to an application to view its information.

For detailed information on application characteristics, refer to Application rule conditions.
