In Sangfor NGAF, "local ACL" and "application control" are two distinct features that serve different purposes in network security. A local ACL, or Access Control List, is a rule-based mechanism that allows or denies network traffic based on specific criteria, such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, and protocols. It operates at the network layer and can be used to control general network traffic flow.

On the other hand, "application control" is a more granular security feature that focuses on monitoring and controlling the execution of specific applications on endpoints. It allows or denies traffic based on the application type, ensuring only authorized applications are used and preventing unauthorized or potentially malicious software from accessing the network. This feature operates at the application layer, providing enhanced protection against advanced threats and data breaches.
