Response Rules 79 About response actions ■ About export flow response action About next actions The Network Security console provides a way to direct a sequence of response rules that conclude with a follow-up action by using Next Action. The Next parameter determines whether or not Symantec Network Security continues checking for additional response rules that match the incident. Possible values are Stop, Continue to Next Rule, and Jump to Rule. The Continue to Next Rule value directs Symantec Network Security to search for the next matching response rule after executing the current response rule. This enables Symantec Network Security to make multiple responses to any particular incident type, in combination with each other and in a desired sequence. The Jump to Rule value directs Symantec Network Security to skip over intervening response rules and go directly to a particular response rule, such as from Rule 5 to Rule 8. The Stop value directs Symantec Network Security to discontinue searching for matching response rules.

About next actions
The Network Security console provides a way to direct a sequence of response
rules that conclude with a follow-up action by using Next Action.
The Next parameter determines whether or not Symantec Network Security
continues checking for additional response rules that match the incident.
Possible values are Stop, Continue to Next Rule, and Jump to Rule. The Continue
to Next Rule value directs Symantec Network Security to search for the next
matching response rule after executing the current response rule. This enables
Symantec Network Security to make multiple responses to any particular
incident type, in combination with each other and in a desired sequence. The
Jump to Rule value directs Symantec Network Security to skip over intervening
response rules and go directly to a particular response rule, such as from Rule 5
to Rule 8. The Stop value directs Symantec Network Security to discontinue
searching for matching response rules.
About response actions

Security will take if the event target, attack type, severity, confidence level, and

respective values to the appropriate Smart Agent. In Configuration > Response
Rules, select a rule, and click the Response Actions column to view the list of
