Creating Application Filters

NOTE: If you are creating an application filter to be used with local on-prem resolution, then you must add Allow - Local Resolution as the default action to your security policy. Application filters are available to subscribers of BloxOne Threat Defense Advanced.

On the Security Policies page, click the Filters tab located above the top Action bar.
On the Filters page, click Create Filter on the top Action bar.
From among the options displayed (Create Category Filter or Create App Filter), click Create App Filter.

- Name: Enter a name for the content application filter. Ensure that you use a unique name for each filter. This is a required field.
- Description: Enter a brief description of the filter. You can enter up to 256 characters.
From the applications list, APPLICATIONS, expand the AVAILABLE list by clicking on the respective arrow next to the application type. Within each application category, sub categories are listed.
