The signature database is one of the major components of Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP). It contains definitions of different objects—such as attack objects, application signatures objects, and service objects—that are used in defining IDP policy rules. As a response to new vulnerabilities, Juniper Networks periodically provides a file containing attack database updates on the Juniper website. You can download this file to protect your network from new threats.
