Understanding the IDP Signature Database Version
New attack objects are added to the signature database server frequently; downloading these updates and installing them on your managed devices regularly ensures that your network is effectively protected against the latest threats. As new attack objects are added to the signature database server, the version number of the database is updated with the latest database version number. Each signature database has a different version number with the latest database having the highest number.
When updating the signature database, the signature database update client connects to the Juniper Networks website and obtains the update using an HTTPS connection. This update—difference between the existing signature database and latest signature database—is calculated based on the version number that is assigned to each signature database. After you download the updates, the updated information is merged with the existing signature database and the version number is set to that of the latest signature database.
