What are App Rules?

App Rules provide a solution for setting policy rules for application signatures. As a set of application-specific policies, App Rules provide you with granular control over network traffic on the level of users, email addresses, schedules, and IP-subnets. The primary functionality of this application-layer access control feature is to regulate Web browsing, file transfer, email, and email attachments.

The ability to control application layer traffic in SonicOS is significantly enhanced with the ability to view real-time application traffic flows, and new ways to access the application signature database and to create application layer rules. SonicOS integrates application control with standard network control features for more powerful control over all network traffic.
