You are building a VMware vDefend Distributed Firewall policy to protect an application. You want to be sure that the policy cannot be modified by two different users simultaneously. What should you do?
A.
Set the Locked option of the firewall policy to Yes
B.
Move the policy so that it is the first policy in the list
C.
Define the policy action as Block
D.
Use role-based access control to make all other users read-only users
In enterprise environments with multiple security administrators, concurrent modifications to firewall rulesets can cause configuration conflicts or override critical security postures. VMware vDefend provides a native "Lock" feature specifically for this scenario. By clicking the lock icon (setting the Locked option to 'Yes') on a specific firewall policy section, the administrator claims exclusive editing rights to that section. Other administrators can still view the rules, but they cannot add, delete, or modify them until the original owner unlocks the policy. This guarantees administrative safety without having to aggressively demote other users' RBAC permissions (Option D).
