If a network has only clients or only servers, you can enhance gateway performance by deactivation of protections. If you select Client Protections and Server Protections, all protections are activated, except for those that are:
- Excluded by the options selected here
- Application Controls or Engine Settings
- Defined as Performance Impact — Critical

Excluded Protections Categories

Do not activate protections of the following categories - The IPS protection categories you select here are not automatically activated. They are excluded from the Threat Prevention policy rule that has this profile in the action of the Rule Base.
