The Safe@Office Firewall Security Policy
What Is a Security Policy?
A security policy is a set of rules that defines your security requirements, including (but not
limited to) network security. By themselves, the network security-related rules comprise
the network security policy.
When configured with the necessary network security rules, the Safe@Office appliance
serves as the enforcement agent for your network security policy. Therefore, the
Safe@Office appliance's effectiveness as a security solution is directly related to the
network security policy's content.
