Configuring security event options

Use the Security Events page on your Network IPS appliance to view attacks and audits and to configure security events.

About this task

A security event is a suspicious action that occurs on a network. A security event triggers a response when it matches an event description in the active security policy. You can edit the security policy to meet the needs of your network.
Note: Settings on the X-Force Virtual Patch page do not apply to security events marked as User Overridden on the Security Events page. Set X-Force settings before customizing security events. To find out what security events are marked User Overridden, group events by User Overridden on the Security Events page.

For information on how to revert the security event policy back to the default version, see Reverting to the default security events policy.
