About Dynamic Objects in Access Control Rules

A dynamic object is automatically pushed from the dynamic attributes connector to the Secure Firewall Manager after you create connectors and save a dynamic attributes filter on the connector.

You can use these dynamic objects on the access control rule's Dynamic Attributes tab page, similarly to the way you used Security Group Tags (SGTs). You can add dynamic objects as source or destination attributes; for example, in an access control block rule, you can add a Finance dynamic object as a destination attribute to block access to Finance servers by whatever objects match the other criteria in the rule.

Note

You cannot create dynamic attributes filters for AWS, Azure, Azure Service Tags, Cisco Multicloud Defense, Generic Text, GitHub, Google Cloud, and Outlook 365, vCenter, Webex, and Zoom). These types of cloud objects provide their own IP addresses.
