Glossary¶

Application Security Policy¶

Use an application security policy when you want to secure an application by specifying allowed traffic sources and destinations.

Isolation Environment Policy¶

Use an isolation environment policy when you want to block all traffic, regardless of direction, between two groups of VMs identified by their category. VMs within a group can communicate with each other.

Quarantine Policy¶

Use a quarantine policy when you want to isolate a compromised or infected VM and optionally want to subject it to forensics. You cannot modify this policy. The two modes to quarantine a VM are Strict or Forensic.

Strict: Use this value when you want to block all inbound and outbound traffic.

Forensic: Use this value when you want to block all inbound and outbound traffic except the traffic to and from categories that contain forensic tools.

AppTier¶

Add values for the tiers in your application (such as web, application_logic, and database) to this category and use the values to divide the application into tiers when configuring a security policy.

AppType¶

Associate the VMs in your application with the appropriate built-in application type such as Exchange and Apache_Spark. You can also update the category to add values for applications not listed in this category.

Environment¶

Add values for environments that you want to isolate from each other and then associate VMs with the values.
