Apply policies based on the source of traffic
To apply inline policies based on security needs and various constraints such as AD/user groups/Organizational unit, Source of traffic/Trusted or untrusted, networks/Forward or reverse proxy, Application instance, Constraint profile or augmenting authentication (Multifactor authentication), follow the steps as shown below:
- Navigate to Policies > Real time Protection > New Policy > Cloud App access.
- Under ‘Source’ section, select Users/User groups or Organizational Unit. Options selected here will apply in the policy being created.
- Under ‘Source’ section, select ‘ADD CRITERIA’ drop down option.
- Select the ‘Access method’ option and select the required source of traffic and proxy type (forward, reverse).
- For trusted or untrusted networks, select ‘Source IP’ and provide the details.
- To apply policies based on application instance, navigate to ‘Destination’ section of the policy creation template, and select the ‘App Instance’ option.
- Selection of a cloud app or an app instance activates the ‘Activities and Constraints’ section where activities that have to act as constraints can be placed in the policy.
- To include multi factor authentication in policies, ensure that Multifactor authentication is enabled for the tenant.
- Under the Profiles & Action section in the policy creation template, select the Action = Multifactor authentication. This will help to provide layered security for higher risk activity.
