When configuring a firewall, what term describes a condition used to match network traffic and apply actions such as allow or deny?
Policy
Rule
Guideline
Standard
The term 'rule' describes a set of conditions used to match network traffic in firewalls and other security devices. When a packet meets the conditions specified in a rule, the corresponding action is applied. This concept is foundational for understanding how access controls are implemented to protect network resources. In contrast, policies are high-level statements of management intent, standards are specific mandatory controls, and guidelines are recommendations that are not mandatory.
