Selective IPS Opt-In

I have been using IPS for some time on my old Astaro 8 firewall, however, I'm about to upgrade to a UTM 9 device and I'm trying to decide how much IPS throughput I'm going to need.

Is there a way to enable IPS for only specified hosts and or services on a specific host as opposed to an entire 'network' or creating 'exceptions'? ie; can I 'opt in' vs 'opt out'?

I note that it is possible to add host objects to the IPS 'Local Networks' configuration, but whether this works the way I expect it to or not is another question.

  • Hey Sam,

     

    IPS in UTM9 is very similar to IPS in ASG8. The engine's matured a bunch, and we've gone to some lengths to improve performance, but you still have one IPS policy that applies to everything. You can then create exceptions, to stop traffic to or from certain hosts from being scanned by IPS.

     

    Cheers,

  • My question to  , if we add an IP host object instead of the xyz (network) in the Allowed Local network box then will IPS work for that specific IP host object or will act as deactivated by default?

    Thanks
