Protecting A Web Server From External Attacks - Fortinet FortiGate 1U Quick Start Manual

Protecting a web server from external attacks

This example uses the FortiOS intrusion protection system (IPS) to protect a web
server by configuring an IPS sensor to protect against common attacks and adding
it to the policy which allows external traffic to access the server. A denial of service
(DoS) security policy is also added to further protect the server against that specific
type of attack.
