How to create a network ACL

Setting up a network ACL can be challenging. You need detailed information about your organization’s network, resources, devices, and users to configure network security.

One of the best practices to configure network security includes the adoption of a role-based structure. This enables you to set up policies and rules for a group of employees instead of individual users and assign them roles and responsibilities based on their job functions.

You should also use the principle of least privilege to enable IT teams to grant permissions or access rights to only limited users who need them to fulfill their job roles.
