Describe a firewall policy for application traffic.

What will be an ideal response?


A firewall policy is an addition to the security policy that describes how firewalls should handle application traffic, such as that from Web and e-mail applications. A risk assessment should provide a list of these applications and their threats and vulnerabilities, describe the impact if confidential data is compromised, and outline countermeasures for mitigating risks. Before developing a firewall policy, you must understand these factors because risk assessment results dictate whether firewalls block or allow your network's application traffic.
