Groups¶

It's often a good idea to create a group for whatever you are doing. It makes security policies so much easier to manage.

• If you are creating users, put them into corresponding User Groups
• IP-addresses, create an Address Group
• Filtering based on applications - create an Application Group
• Services - create a Service Group

And so on.

Example¶

Let's say you already have a Security Policy that blocks for a certain type of applications through Application Groups. You discover a new application of the same type and it needs to be blocked, then it's much easier to just add the application to the group and continue filtering through the same policy than.
