This statement is correct because access control lists (ACLs) are used to filter traffic passing through a network interface. They can be applied in both directions: inbound, to filter traffic coming into the interface, and outbound, to filter traffic leaving the interface. ACLs play a vital role in defining which packets are allowed to pass and which are to be blocked or denied based on predefined rules such as IP addresses, protocols, or port numbers.
