Intrusion Prevention

The Snort inspection engine is an integral part of the Firewall Threat Defense. This chapter provides an overview of Snort 3 and the network analysis and intrusion policies. It also provides an insight into system-provided and custom network analysis and intrusion policies. In most cases, the system-provided policies are all you need. For advanced users with specific needs, you can create custom rules. To configure custom Snort 3 rules, see Custom Snort 3 Intrusion Policies for Access Control.
