What are three ways application characteristics are used? (Choose three.)

When administrators create custom applications, they define specific characteristics (e.g., category, subcategory, port, risk, technology) to precisely identify and classify custom or proprietary applications.

Application characteristics act as criteria for global filters within the Application Command Center (ACC), allowing administrators to quickly narrow down and analyze traffic based on specific attributes like risk, technology, or category.

Application groups are collections of specific application objects; while the applications in a group may share characteristics, the characteristics themselves are not attributes that directly define the group, unlike application filters.

Security policies use applications, application groups, or application filters as objects to control traffic; application characteristics are attributes of these objects or criteria for filters, not standalone objects used directly in policies.

Application filters are constructed by specifying one or more application characteristics (e.g., 'category is web-browsing AND risk is 3') to dynamically select a set of applications for use in security policies.
