The security appliance supports a variety of UTM security services to provide the Internet threat protection for your network. By default, all security services except Network Reputation are disabled.
The following table lists all available security services on the security appliance.
Anti-Virus prevents network threats over a multitude of protocols, including HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, CIFS, NETBIOS, and IMAP. See Configuring Anti-Virus. |
|
Application Control monitors and controls the use of applications on your network. See Configuring Application Control. |
|
Spam Filter detects the email sender’s reputation score. If the reputation score is below the threshold, then the email is blocked or tagged as spam or suspected spam. See Configuring Spam Filter. |
|
IPS monitors network traffic for malicious or unwanted behaviors and can react, in real-time, to block or prevent those activities. See Configuring Intrusion Prevention. |
|
Network Reputation blocks incoming traffic from IP addresses that are known to initiate attacks throughout the Internet. See Network Reputation. |
|
Web Reputation Filtering prevents client devices from accessing dangerous websites containing viruses, spyware, malware, or phishing links. See Configuring Web Reputation Filtering. |
|
Web URL Filtering allows you to block HTTP access to malicious websites based on URL categories. See Configuring Web URL Filtering. |
Anti-Virus, Application Control, and IPS are signature-based security services. You must update the signatures frequently to ensure that these security services can give you the best protection.
Spam Filter, Network Reputation, Web Reputation Filtering, and Web URL Filtering are reputation-based security services. They obtain the security data from the SecApps servers and determine which traffic is allowed or blocked. Make sure that the SecApps servers are online after you enable these security services, otherwise they will not be available.
