How do you configure an internet service as the destination in a firewall policy?

Selecting the service from the Internet Service Database (ISDB) is the most straightforward and efficient way to configure an internet service as the destination in a firewall policy. The ISDB contains a pre-set list of internet services that are recognized by the firewall, which simplifies the configuration process and ensures that you are using trusted and standardized service definitions.

By using the ISDB, the administrator can quickly apply the correct parameters associated with common internet services (like HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP), thus avoiding potential errors that might occur if one were to manually input service parameters or rely on default settings. This not only enhances the accuracy of the firewall policy but also ensures adherence to best practices in network security by using up-to-date and vetted services.

Utilizing the ISDB also allows for easier management and updating of the firewall policies since the database can be updated with new services or changes to existing ones without needing to individually edit policies extensively.
