Define network services

A network service is a group of addresses (FQDNs or IP addresses) that you can use to simplify setting up access control list (ACL) rules. When you create ACL rules, you can specify a network service instead of specifying each individual address. Arctic Wolf maintains and regularly updates network services for many common SaaS applications to simplify the process for you. You can define additional network services for both public and private applications. You can nest existing network services. When you nest network services, the destinations of each added network service are referenced, and you have access to all of the contained destinations. If a change is made to one of the combined network services, it is automatically reflected immediately. You can perform a search of the network services that you have added. For more information on searching, see Searching ACL rules and Network Services.
