Add an Application List

Cisco Secure Access application lists organize application-based destinations into categories. Categories are organized by the type of processes or services provided. Application lists can also include application protocols, which transport the traffic from your organization's sources to internet destinations. An application list may include a single application protocol or a list of application protocols.

To control the traffic to applications, add application categories and application protocols to an Application list. Then, select the application list in an internet rule. You can reuse application lists in multiple internet rules. For information about internet rules, see Components for Internet Access Rules.

Procedure

Add an application list with applications and application protocols.

Note: When a new application is added to a category, Secure Access automatically adds that application to all configuration settings that include that entire category. For each application list, the new application will use the same default action as that applies to the Application category as a whole.

1. Navigate to Resources > Internet and SaaS Resources > Application Lists and click Add.

   

2. For List name, enter a descriptive name for the application list.

   

3. Select applications and application protocols for the application list.

a. Search for applications and then select applications, or expand each application category and choose the applications within the category.
Note: When you select only a few apps within a category, the category is marked with a dash. When you select an entire category, it is marked with a check. For information about the available categories, see Application Categories.

b. Select all application protocols or choose the application protocols to add to the application list.

4. Click Save.

5. View the your applications in Secure Access.

   

What's Next

After you add the application list, you can select the application list as a destination in an internet rule. For more information, see Add an Internet Access Rule.

For some applications, you can allow access to the application but block activities such as uploads, downloads, or posting. For more information and a list of applications that support these blocks, see Advanced Application Controls.
