Attack Objects Task Summary
You use the NSM Object Manager to manage NSM administrative objects, including the attack objects used in IDP security policies.
IDP administration can include the following tasks related to attack objects:
- Updating IDP detector engine and the NSM attack database
- Viewing predefined attack object definitions
- Working with attack object groups
- Creating custom attack objects
For an explanation of custom attack objects and examples, see the IDP Custom Attack Object Reference and Examples Guide.
For details on how to use NSM Object Manager features to copy objects, find references to objects, search for unused objects, or configure object versions, see the NSM online Help.
