14.5 Signature Update

The ZyWALL comes with built-in signatures created by the ZyXEL Security Response Team

(ZSRT). These are regularly updated as new intrusions evolve. Use the Update screen to

immediately download or schedule new signature downloads.

Note: You should have already registered the ZyWALL at myZyXEL.com (http://

www.myzyxel.com/myzyxel/) and also have either activated the trial license or

standard license (iCard). If your license has expired, you will have to renew it

before updates are allowed.

mySecurityZone is a web portal that provides all security-related information such as intrusion

and anti-virus information for ZyXEL security products.

You should have already registered your ZyWALL on myZyXEL.com at:

http://www.myzyxel.com/myzyxel/.

You can use your myZyXEL.com username and password to log into mySecurityZone.

When scheduling signature updates, you should choose a day and time when your network is

least busy so as to minimize disruption to your network. Your custom signature configurations

are not over-written when you download new signatures.

IDP signatures (see the chapters on IDP) are included with file-based anti-virus signatures.

When you download new signatures using the IDP Update screen, anti-virus signatures are

also downloaded. The version number changes both in the IDP Update screen and this screen.

Both screens also share the same Auto-Update schedule. Changes made to the schedule in one

screen are reflected in the other.

Note: The ZyWALL does not have to reboot when you upload new signatures.
