Here are some things to remember as a new cus-
tomer:
Customizing your security policy
You customize your security policy by adding traf-
fic actions that expand what you allow in and out of
your firewall. Every action brings trade-offs
between network security and accessibility. When
selecting actions, balance the needs of your organi-
zation with the requirement that the computer
assets be protected from attack.
Please refer to the
Firebox Vclass Guide
for more
information and assistance on configuring traffic
actions.
