Configure Recurring Intrusion Rule Updates
As new vulnerabilities become known, the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group (Talos) releases intrusion rule

Before you begin

Schedule VDB Downloads and Updates
The Cisco vulnerability database (VDB) is a database of known vulnerabilities to which hosts may be
susceptible, as well as fingerprints for operating systems, clients, and applications. The system uses the VDB
to help determine whether a particular host increases your risk of compromise.
Use these instructions to schedule regular automatic downloads and installations of the latest VDB update.
The Cisco Talos Intelligence Group (Talos) issues periodic VDB updates no more than once daily. We strongly
