    Hi ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Community! 

    This alert means the traffic generated by the user matched the known IPS signatures. The recommended action is set to "Drop packets" for SID 38085 and 38086. 

    Reference screenshot: 

    You can find more information at Sid 1-43758.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Harsh, thanks for the quick response, this client is up to date with patches and Sophos endpoint has not blocked anything, is there anything else I should do on the computer?

    Hi ,

    The Sophos XG firewall already has the protection for this detection with those two SIDs mentioned in my previous reply. 

    If IPS policies are configured on your firewall rule, then you don't have to worry about this detection. On the computers, ensure that the browser version is updated and not one of the affected versions mentioned in the link. 

    Thanks,

  • Hi and welcome to the UTM Community!

    Your prior posts were in the Web Appliance and XG Firewall Communities.  Harsh gave you an answer not for a UTM, but for an XG firewall.  Tell us what Sophos product to which this question applies and one of us will move it to the correct forum.

    Cheers - Bob
