Configure the access control list

CylanceGATEWAY
evaluates existing connections to a destination every five minutes. On evaluation,
CylanceGATEWAY
reapplies the ACL rules, and the established connection might be disconnected, if required. This can occur if, for example, the users' risk level has changed, or the destination reputation has been updated since the connection was established.
