Endpoint Applications Groups

Endpoint Applications Groups allow organizing endpoint applications into logical groups for use in Data-in-motion Rules. Instead of selecting individual applications in a rule, administrators can reference an application group, making rule management more scalable. Groups can contain custom application groups (user-defined collections of applications) and catalog web application groups (predefined web application categories).

Users access Endpoint Applications by going to ModulesData SecurityEndpoint Data-in-Motion RulesEndpoint Applications Groups.
