Geolocation objects

A geolocation object is a network policy element that

  • represents one or more countries or continents identified as the source or destination of traffic on your monitored network,

  • can be used in various places in the system’s web interface, including access control policies, SSL policies, remote access VPN, and event searches, and

  • enables you to write access control rules that block traffic to or from certain countries.

Geolocation database updates

To ensure that you are using up-to-date information to filter your network traffic, we strongly recommend that you regularly update your Geolocation Database (GeoDB).
