Security filters defend against exploits that target applications and operating systems
of workstations and servers on a network. Malicious attacks may probe your network
for vulnerabilities, available ports and hosts, and network accessible applications.
Security filters defend your network by providing a device with threat assessment,
detection, and management instructions.
These filters block traffic depending on the configured actions for a filter. You
can set these actions to the entire category of filters or override specific filters
to perform a different set of actions.
