Summary
A Security Profile defines the traffic that the device monitors and the DV filters that the device applies. Traffic monitoring is based on incoming and outgoing port pairs. You can use the default Digital Vaccine filter configuration to protect the segment or customize the configuration as required. The segment specifies both the port and the traffic direction which allows you to define separate Security Profiles for traffic in and out of a port.
The default security profile is set to ANY incoming ports and ANY outgoing ports, with all IPS filters configured with the default Digital Vaccine settings. With the default profile in place, all incoming and outgoing traffic on any virtual segment configured on the device is monitored according to the IPS filter configuration recommended by TippingPoint. You can edit the default Security Profile to customize the virtual segments that it applies to and modify the filter settings, or create your own Security Profiles as required.
