Zones

A zone is a label given to one interface or multiple interfaces that designates it as security area within a network. The device or devices in a zone share characteristics that allow them to be grouped together so that only traffic that satisfies certain policy restrictions can enter or exit the zone. Multiple interfaces can be bound to one zone, but a single interface can only be tied to one zone. Security Manager imports zone information from your network.

The Security Intelligence Platform manages two categories of zones: firewall zones, which are defined in the firewall itself and can be viewed in Security Manager, and compliance zones, which are groups of devices that all must meet the same compliance requirements, such as a zone of devices on a network for a hospital that must meet HIPAA requirements.

Each row in the Zones table lists a zone and interface that are paired together for the specified device.
