Edit, Clone, and Delete an IPS Signature Dynamic Group

You must have the tenant administrator role or a customized role assigned with the appropriate IPS tasks to modify customized IPS signature dynamic groups.

Edit an IPS Signature Dynamic Group

You can edit only customized IPS signature dynamic groups, and not predefined (system-generated) dynamic groups.

  4. (Optional) Click Preview Filtered Signatures to check if the signatures that match the dynamic group are consistent with the specified filter criteria.

    The IPS Signatures page opens displaying the list of IPS signatures matching the filters. If the signatures do not match, you can tweak the filter criteria. Click Close to go back to the previous page.

    The IPS Signatures page opens with a message indicating that the IPS signature dynamic group was successfully updated.
