IPS

1

A known, confirmed attack
Detected when a ﬁle or traffic matches a signature pattern:
1- lPS signatures
2- WAF signatures
3- Antivirus signatures
Example: Exploit of known application vulnerabilities

1

Can be zero-day or denial of service attacks (DoS)
Detected by behavioral analysis:
1-Rate-based IPS signatures
2-DoS policies
3-Protocol constraints inspection
Example: Abnormally high rate of traffic (DoS/ﬂood)

Decoders parse protocols.
lPS signatures ﬁnd parts of a protocol that don’t conform.
For example, too many HTTP headers, or a buffer overflow attempt
Unlike proxy-based scans, IPS often does not require IANA standard ports.
Automatically selects decoder for protocol at each OSI layer

In fact, because of its size, the extended database is only available for FortiGate models with a smaller disk or RAM. But, for high-security networks, you might be required to enable the extended signatures database.
