Application Rules list order

Hi,

Does the order of the application rules listed in the ‘Network Security Policy’ matter? I make use of File Groups, and if I don’t take care an application might actually be a member of a File Group and be listed as an individual member in the application rules list. Then, I would assume, the order of the rules determines which policy will be applied. Am I correct?

Thanks! P

Yes, I believe your assumption is correct. CIS applies the first rule that matches the packet being filtered. It is explained in more detail in CIS’s Help.
