An administrator needs to allow users to use their own office applications. How should the administrator configure the firewall to allow multiple applications in a dynamic environment?

  1. Create an Application Filter and name it Office Programs, the filter it on the business-systems category, office-programs subcategory
  2. Create an Application Group and add business-systems to it
  3. Create an Application Filter and name it Office Programs, then filter it on the business-systems category
  4. Create an Application Group and add Office 365, Evernote, Google Docs, and Libre Office

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An application filter is an object that dynamically groups applications based on application attributes that you define, including category, subcategory, technology, risk factor, and characteristic. This is useful when you want to safely enable access to applications that you do not explicitly sanction, but that you want users to be able to access. For example, you may want to enable employees to choose their own office programs (such as Evernote, Google Docs, or Microsoft Office 365) for business use. To safely enable these types of applications, you could create an application filter that matches on the Category business-systems and the Subcategory office-programs. As new applications office programs emerge and new App-IDs get created, these new applications will automatically match the filter you defined; you will not have to make any additional changes to your policy rulebase to safely enable any application that matches the attributes you defined for the filter.
