What feature enables the creation of custom security policies based on specific traffic types?

The App-ID feature is pivotal in creating custom security policies based on specific traffic types because it allows for the identification of applications traversing the network, regardless of the port or protocol used. By analyzing the traffic and recognizing applications, Firewalls can enforce security policies tailored to the specific behaviors and requirements of those applications.

For instance, if an organization wants to enforce a specific policy for social media applications differently from video streaming apps, the App-ID feature can accurately identify the traffic related to each application type. This high level of granularity aids in enhancing both network security and performance by allowing administrators to define and enforce targeted policies based on user and application behaviors rather than simply relying on static IP addresses or ports.

Other options like the Application Command Center provide a visual representation of application usage but do not directly facilitate the creation of security policies based on application identification. File Blocking specifically addresses certain file types, focusing on content rather than application identity. Zone-Based Policy organizes traffic control based on defined security zones within the network but lacks the specific application identification that App-ID provides.
