access control A feature of the Sourcefire 3D System that allows you to specify, inspect, and log
the traffic that can traverse your network. Access control includes the intrusion
detection and prevention , file control , and advanced malware protection features,
and also determines the traffic you can inspect with the discovery feature.
access control policy A policy that you apply to managed devices to perform access control on the
network traffic monitored by those devices. An access control policy may include

the handling and logging of traffic that does not meet the criteria of any of those
rules. An access control policy can also specify HTTP response page, Security
Intelligence , and other advanced settings.
access control rule A set of conditions the Sourcefire 3D System uses to examine your monitored
