Compliance Enforcement

Many businesses and organizations need to ensure compliance with their policies regarding outbound file transfer. App Rules provides this functionality in HTTP, FTP, POP3, and SMTP contexts. This can help companies meet regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, SOX, and PCI.

When you configure the policy or policies for this purpose, you can select Direction > Basic > Outgoing to specifically apply your file transfer restrictions to outbound traffic. Or, you can select Direction > Advanced and then specify the exact zones between which to prevent file transfer. For example, you can specify LAN to WAN, LAN to DMZ, or any other zones that you have defined.
