Security Policy Report Export Overview

Export your active security policies into downloadable files, making it easy to review, archive, and share your security configurations for audits, compliance reviews, or offline analysis.

You can export and download active security policy reports in two formats.

Format	Description
PDF	A human-readable, print-friendly document. Ideal for sharing with auditors and stakeholders who need a formatted report. Figure 1: Security Policy Export Report—PDF Format Sample
JSON file	A machine-readable compressed file containing security policies in JSON format. Useful for programmatic analysis, backup, and potential future import workflows. Figure 2: Security Policy Export Report—JSON File Sample

The exported security policy report in both the formats captures a snapshot of the policy at the moment of export, including:

• Security policy rules—Sequence number, rule name, source and destination endpoints, applications and services, action (permit/deny), and hit counts.

• Rule groups—Zone-based and global rule groups.

• Security profiles—IPS profiles, Content Security profiles (anti-virus, antispam, web filtering, content filtering), SSL proxy, SecIntel, anti-malware, flow-based anti-virus, Secure Web Proxy, and ICAP redirect profiles attached to each rule.

• Referenced objects—Addresses (individual IPs, networks, groups), services, applications, URL categories, schedulers, and policy profiles.

• Logging—Schedules and session logs.

• Metadata—Policy name, generation timestamp, and the user who triggered the export.
