Fine-tuning a deployment
After you have deployed clients with default settings, you can fine-tune and tighten
security for optimum protection. Fine-tuning a deployment involves:
Analyzing IPS events.
Creating exception rules and trusted application rules.
Working with client exception rules.
Creating and applying new policies.
Analyzing IPS events
An IPS event is triggered when a security violation, as defined by a signature, is
detected. It appears on the
IPS Events tab with a severity level of High, Medium, Low,
or Information, which maps to a reaction.
Note
When single operation triggers two events, the event with the stronger reaction is
taken.
