With the exception of the Overview panel, each panel in the Control Center has a Main tab and one or two other tabs. The Main tab contains the global controls for that panel.

security features. By adjusting the global controls, you can instantly adjust
your security to meet your needs.

For most users, the default settings of the global controls provide the optimum
balance of security and convenience. For more information, see the related topic
Choosing security settings.

needs, these dialog boxes give you granular control over your firewall, application
control, privacy, and other security features.
