An administrator is building Security rules within a device group to block traffic to and from malicious locations. How should those rules be configured to ensure that they are evaluated with a high priority?
To ensure that security rules are evaluated with a high priority, they should be placed at the top of the Security Pre-Rules. Pre-Rules are evaluated before any other rules, including local firewall rules, post-rules, and default rules. This means that malicious traffic will be blocked as early as possible, providing an effective layer of security.
