Block Applications

date_range 08-Jul-23

You can block either all users or selected users from accessing an application. The block operation requires the listed policy rules to be edited to block one or more users from accessing an application. View policy changes by clicking the policy name or view affected devices by clicking the device count. You see only policies permitting this traffic in the past 30 days.

Note:

Starting in Junos Space Security Director Release 21.1, when unified policy rules permit the traffic, selecting block action creates block rules in the appropriate unified policy.

To block an application:

    The Application Visibility page is displayed.

  2. Click the APPLICATIONS tab.

    The top 50 applications are displayed.

    Click the View All Users link to display the users accessing the application.

  4. Click Block Application to block users from accessing the application.

    The Block Application page is displayed with the policies that contain the rules required to block the application. The listed policies will be edited to block all users from accessing the application.

    The Block Users page is displayed with policies that contain the rules required to block the selected user from accessing the application.
