Intrusion Prevention

The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) combines signature detection and prevention with low latency and excellent reliability. With intrusion protection, you can create multiple IPS sensors, each containing a complete configuration based on signatures. Then, you can apply any IPS sensor to any security policy.

This section describes how to configure the Intrusion Prevention settings.

To view available IPS sensors, go to Security Profiles > Intrusion Prevention.

Hover over the leftmost edge of the column heading to display the Configure Table icon, which you can use to select the columns to display or to reset all the columns to their default settings. You can also drag column headings to change their order.

The following options are available:

Create New	Create an IPS sensor. See Create or edit an IPS sensor.
Edit	Modify the selected IPS sensor. See Create or edit an IPS sensor.
Clone	Make a copy of the selected IPS sensor.
