Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S380 Guía Del Usuario

Controlling applications involves configuring the following elements:

The Applications Visibility and Control page offers the following views for configuring applications:

Browse view. You can browse for application types. You can use Browse view to configure 
applications of a particular type at the same time. When an application type is collapsed in Browse 
view, the summary for the application type lists the final actions for the applications and does not 
indicate whether the actions are inherited from the global policy or configured in the current Access 
Policy. 

Search view. You can search for applications. You might want to use Search view when the total list 
of applications is long and you need to quickly find and configure a particular application. 

You can configure most of the same control settings in both views. However, you can only configure the 
bandwidth control limits for application types in Browse view.

When configuration applications, you can choose the following actions:

Application types

A category that contains one or more applications

Applications

Particular applications that belong in an application type

Application behaviors

Particular actions or behaviors that users can do within an application 
that administrators can control. Not all applications include application 
behaviors you can configure

Block

This action is a final action. Users are prevented from viewing a webpage and instead 
an end-user notification page displays

Monitor

This action is an intermediary action. The Web Proxy continues comparing the 
transaction to the other control settings to determine which final action to apply

Restrict

This action indicates that an application behavior is blocked. For example, when you 
block file transfers for a particular instant messaging application, the action for that 
application is Restrict
