Building Strong Policies
In this chapter, you will get comfortable with configuring security profiles, building rule bases for security, and Network Address Translation (NAT). We will learn what each setting does, what its expected behavior is, and how it can be leveraged to lead to the desired outcome. Taking full control over all of the features available in the different rule bases will enable you to adopt a strong security stance.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding and preparing security profiles
- Understanding and building security rules
- Setting up NAT in all possible directions
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to set up a complete ruleset that will ensure your users are able to reach the applications and resources they need, internally hosted servers can be reached from the internet, and any threats trying to slip through can be stopped in their tracks.
