IPS Profiles Overview

The intrusion prevention system (IPS) profile is deployed on a device by associating the profile with a firewall policy rule, which is deployed on the device. You can associate IPS rules and exempt rules with an IPS profile.

Note: Juniper Security Director Cloud supports only IPS Profiles with unified rules. IPS profiles with standard rules are not supported.

Use the IPS Profiles page to manage IPS profiles. To access this page, select SRX > Security Subscriptions > IPS > IPS Profiles.
