Collecting and Analyzing New Protections

After you successfully configure the initial IPS installation, most protections are deployed in Prevent mode. A few remain in Detect mode for an additional analysis.

However, new threats continuously emerge and the network traffic changes with new applications, services and protocols. We recommend that you run an IPS analysis periodically and review IPS events.

Newly downloaded protections will be in staging mode. Review these protections’ events and change their mode from Staging to Detect.

Run an analysis on the new protections and determine if they can run in Prevent mode as performed earlier in Collecting and Analyzing the Initial IPS Events.
