Updating IPS Protections

Check Point constantly develops and improves its protections against the latest threats. You can immediately update IPS with real-time information on attacks and all the latest protections. You can manually update the IPS protections and also set a schedule when updates are automatically downloaded and installed. IPS protections include many protections that can help manage the threats against your network. Make sure that you understand the complexity of the IPS protections before you manually modify the settings.

Note - To enforce the IPS updates, you must install the Threat Prevention Policy.

To update IPS Protections:

1. In SmartConsole, click Security Policies > Threat Prevention.
2. In the Threat Tools section, click Updates.
3. In the IPS section > Update Now, from the drop-down menu, select:
   • Download with SmartConsole - If your Security Management Server has no internet access.
   • Download with Security Management Server
   • Offline Update - If you want to manually upload the file. Select the required file for the update and click Open.
4. Install Policy.

Note - From R77.20, IPS purge runs automatically after every IPS update. The Security Management Server saves only the versions from the last 30 days, and deletes the others.
