Create a Security Profile Group

Use the following steps to create a security profile group and add it to a security policy.
  1. Create a security profile group.
    If you name the group
    default
    , the firewall will automatically attach it to any new rules you create. This is a time saver if you have a preferred set of security profiles that you want to make sure get attached to every new rule.
    1. Select
      Objects
      Security Profile Groups
      and
      Add
      a new security profile group.
    2. Give the profile group a descriptive
      Name
      , for example, Threats.
    3. If the firewall is in Multiple Virtual System Mode, enable the profile to be
      Shared
      by all virtual systems.
    4. Add existing profiles to the group.
    5. Click
      OK
      to save the profile group.
  2. Add a security profile group to a security policy.
    1. Select
      Policies
      Security
      and
      Add
      or modify a security policy rule.
    2. Select the
      Actions
      tab.
    3. In the Profile Setting section, select
      Group
      for the
      Profile Type
      .
    4. In the
      Group Profile
      drop-down, select the group you created (for example, select the best-practice group):
    5. Click
      OK
      to save the policy and
      Commit
      your changes.
