Choose from the following actions when
defining security profiles:
- Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
- Integrates a high-performance Deep Packet Inspection architecture and a dynamically
updated
signature database to deliver complete network protection from application exploits,
worms, and
malicious traffic. For details, see IPS Security.
- Anti-Malware
- Default Global global Anti-Malware security profile. Used by all policies to provide
malware
protection and against other threats to your networks. It includes virus, spyware,
Trojan,
worm, and botnet. Once the Global Anti-Malware security profile is enabled, network
connection
scans are carried out to ensure content is malware free. For details, seeAnti-Malware Security.
- Anti-Spam
- Anti-Spam uses Email Reputation, which is a Smart Protection Network component that
verifies
IP addresses of incoming email messages using one of the world's largest, most trusted
reputation databases, along with a dynamic reputation database to identify new spam
and
phishing sources, stopping even zombies and botnets when they first emerge. For details,
see
Anti-Spam Security.
- Web Reputation Services (WRS)
- Web Reputation Services (WRS) scrutinizes URLs before users access potentially dangerous
websites, especially sites known to be phishing or pharming sites. By utilizing WRS,
the
appliance provides real-time protection, conserves system scanning resources, and
saves network
bandwidth by preventing the infection chain or breaking it early. For details, see
WRS Profiles.
