Enable Automatic Update of Security Package

You can configure your devices to automatically install and update the security package at specified intervals. For example, you can configure your devices to install the IPS signature on 14th of July at 2:00 a.m and thereafter periodic check and update of the latest IPS signature to happens after every two days.
Note:
