# Network Security List

A Network Security List in OCI is a virtual firewall that controls inbound and outbound traffic at the subnet level. It contains security rules that define allowed protocols, ports, and source or destination IP ranges. Security lists are stateful, meaning return traffic is automatically allowed. They provide a way to enforce network access policies for resources within a subnet.
