App Control

App Control helps organizations manage and secure application usage across the network. When combined with SAML authentication, App Control enforces application-level policies based on verified user identities and user groups.

Using SAML for authentication ensures that only authenticated users and their associated groups are subject to App Control policies. This identity-based approach reduces the risk of unauthorized applications, supports compliance, and strengthens overall network security. For more information, refer to SonicOS 8 Security Services.
