Hi,

Local ACLs control network traffic at the device level, focusing on IP addresses, ports, and protocols, permitting or denying traffic based on predefined rules.
They operate at a lower network stack level. Application Control operates higher up the stack, managing specific applications' access and actions, inspecting content to identify applications or protocols. It provides granular control over application usage, enforcing policies based on categories, individual apps, or functions.

While both manage network traffic, Local ACLs focus on network parameters, while Application Control targets specific applications and their behaviors for more nuanced control and security enforcement.
