Create a Rule Set

You can create a rule set of your own by specifying values for each of the elements that are included in a rule set.

1. On the user interface for Secure Web Gateway, select Policy > Web Policy > Policy.

2. On the Web Policy page, choose the position on the policy tree where you want to create the rule set. Then select options accordingly.

   • As a top-level rule set
     
     Select Getting Started on the policy tree, then click New Ruleset in the top right corner. From the menu that opens, select Custom ruleset.
     
     

   • Embedded in an existing branch
     
     Select this branch, then click the three dots at the end of the row for the branch in the configuration area. Under Add New Ruleset in the menu that opens, select Custom.
     
     

   • Embedded in an existing rule set
     
     Select this rule set, then click the three dots at the end of the row for the rule set in the configuration area. Under Add New Ruleset in the menu that opens, select Custom.

3. Work with the options for configuring the elements of the new rule set that appear.
   
   Depending on what you have chosen for the position of the new rule set, these options appear at the top of the configuration area for a top-level rule set or after the last rule of the branch or embedded rule set that you have selected.
   
   Configure, for example, a rule set that applies to all the requests for web access among the traffic that is directed to Secure Web Gateway. Leave further processing of this traffic to the individual rules that you will still include in the rule set.
   
   

   1. In the Ruleset Name field, type a name for the new rule set. This name should reflect the processing that the individual rules in the rule set will perform.
      
      For example, type   Block URL Categories.
       
   2. Click Select Criteria, and from the list in the window that opens, select the criteria for the new rule set. To view short descriptions of the criteria, make sure Show Description is selected at the top of the window.
      
      Select All traffic, as you want the rule set to apply to the requests for web access among all the traffic that is directed to Secure Web Gateway. Then click Add.
      
      
       
   3. If you select All traffic as the criteria, no operator or value is needed.
      
      For information about how to configure these elements of a rule or rule set, see Create a Rule with the Rule Builder.
      
      Click All next to Applies to on the right to configure the rule set to apply only to requests for web access among the traffic that is directed to Secure Web Gateway.
      
      
       
   4. From the menu that opens, select Request and deselect Response and Embedded Objects. Then click OK.
      
       
       
   5. To enable the new rule set, use the toggle on the right. If it shows a green field, the rule set is enabled. Otherwise, click the toggle. The green field will appear then. 
      
      

You have now created a new rule set with the elements that you configured. Fill it with rules now. For more information, see Create a Rule with the Rule builder.

The addition of this new rule set to your web policy will take effect after you have saved what you configured using the Publish option.
