Creating a Security Policy for Outbound

After registering of your SonicWall NSv Series, you can create security policy and apply security services such as SonicWall Gateway Anti-Virus (GAV), Intrusion Prevention, Anti-Spyware Security, Botnet Filtering and Content Filtering.

To configure a Security Policy

1. Navigate to Policy > Rules and Policies > Security Policy.

   The Security Policy page is displayed.

2. Choose LAN to WAN in Zone Matrix Selector.

3. From the bottom of the Security Policy table, click Add.

   The Adding Rule page is displayed.

   

4. Enter the policy Name and any identifying Tags you would like to enter to help sort your policies.

5. Enter a Description of the policy and its intent.

6. Select an Action, whether to Allow, Deny, or Discard access.

7. Specify the IP version in Type, IPv4 or IPv6.

8. Set your Security Policy's Priority.

9. Specify when the rule is applied by selecting a schedule or Schedule Group from the Schedule drop-down menu.

10. Click Enable to activate the policy schedule and enable logging.

11. In the Source/Destination view, select the Source and Destination zones, and network address objects, and Port/Services for each from the drop-down menus.

    There are no default zones. Any is supported for both zone fields.

    	Source	Destination
    Zone/Interface	LAN	WAN
    Address	LAN Subnets (custom subnet)	Any
    Port/Services	Any	Any

12. Under Users, specify if this rule applies to all users or to an individual user or group in the Include drop-down menu. You can exclude users as well using the Exclude drop-down menu.

13. Under GEO Country, indicate a (From/To) Country from the drop-down menu.

14. Click Save, and continue with App/URL/Custom Match and Action Profile.
