Recommended IPS Control Policy

You can configure the following recommended IPS Control policy in the Admin Portal to leverage Zscaler's Intrustion Prevention System (IPS):

  • Rule Order: Create this rule with a Rule Order of 1. Since rules are evaluated in ascending numerical order, this rule is evaluated first.
  • Rule Status: Select Enabled. Enabled rules are actively enforced.
  • Threat Categories: Select Any to apply this rule to all threat categories, or select specific threat categories based on your organization's needs. Threat categories group common threats (e.g., viruses, botnets, exploits) together.
  • Action: Select Block/Drop. This silently blocks packets that match the rule.

To learn more about how to configure this rule, see Configuring IPS Control Policy.
