Explanation

Service Groups allow administrators to bundle multiple individual service objects (defined by protocol and port) into a single reusable object. This simplifies Security policy rules by referencing one group instead of listing many individual services. Application Groups serve a similar purpose but for App-ID applications, not port/protocol-based services. Application Filters dynamically group applications by attributes rather than manual selection.
