Manage the Access Policy

Secure Access has a single Access policy, which consists of policy rules and settings. Your private access and internet policy rules and the default policy rules control the access and security of your resources and protect the traffic in your organization. Before you start adding rules to your policy, we recommend that you read through the topics in this section in full.

Private and Internet Access Rules in Your Policy

There are two types of access rules:

• Private access rules—Controls access to applications hosted from your data center and private clouds.
  To create and work with these rules, see Get Started with Private Access Rules.
• Internet access rules—Controls access to resources on the internet from managed devices.
  To create and work with these rules, see Get Started with Internet Access Rules

Default Access Rules in Your Policy

If your traffic does not match any of the rules in your policy, Secure Access applies the settings on the Default Access rules. For more information, see Edit the Default Access Rules.

Rule Defaults and Global Settings

• Global settings apply to all rules (internet or private access or both) and cannot be changed for individual rules.
  For more information, see Global Settings for Access Rules.
• Rule defaults are settings that apply by default to new rules. You can change the settings for each rule.
  For more information, see Rule Defaults: Default Settings for Access Rules.
