Manage rule objects

You use rule objects to define Firewall and QoS policies, Ignore Rules, SSL Decryption Exclusions, Quarantine Zones, and NTBA Communication Rules. To manage the rule objects, go to Policy → <Admin Domain Name> → Intrusion Prevention → Objects → Rule Objects.

All the default rule objects belong to the root admin domain. Visibility — Indicates the visibility settings of settings to the domains, whether it is visible only to the owner domain or to both owner and child domains Editable here — Yes indicates that the rule object is a custom rule object belonging to the current admin domain. If it is No, you cannot edit the rule object because it is a default rule object or a custom rule object defined at a parent admin domain.
Object Type	Filters rule objects in the list. Default Objects Only — Trellix pre-defined these rule objects. For example, the Application and Country are default rule objects.
