You can create various types of network policies to protect your network from threats and disruptions. It helps you optimize network resource allocation and manage your network policies to prioritize traffic and configure application classifications.

Rules are evaluated from top to bottom and when traffic matches against the defined rule criteria, subsequent rules are not evaluated. You should order more specific policy rules above the more generic ones to enforce the best match criteria possible. A log is generated for traffic that matches a policy rule when logging is enabled for the rule. Logging options are configurable for each rule.

Best practice policy rules are available for most policy types and help you to get started quickly and securely. While these rules cannot be edited to ensure that you always have a minimum level of security readily available, you can clone them if you want to use them as a foundation for customizing your policy.

Go to ManageConfigurationNGFW and Prisma AccessNetwork Policies.

With network policies, you can:

• Prioritize the traffic that matters most to your operations with Manage: QoS.
• Manage how Prisma Access classifies your applications with Manage: Application Override.
