The FortiGate Intrusion Protection system matches network traffic against patterns contained in attack signatures. Attack signatures reliably protect your network from known attacks. Fortinet’s FortiGuard infrastructure ensures the rapid identification of new threats and the development of new attack signatures.
If required, you can override the default settings of the signatures specified in an IPS sensor. The FortiGate unit provides a number of pre-built IPS sensors, but you should check their settings before using them, to ensure they meet your network requirements.
