Security License
The security services are licensable. The security license is valid for one year or
three years depending on the bundle type. By default, the security appliance
comes with a one year bundle license for all security services. To renew the
security license before it expires, go to the Device Management -> License
Management page. See
Priority of Security Services
Multiple security services can work simultaneously to protect your network. If you
enable both the Web URL Filter and Web Reputation Filter services, the whitelist
and blacklist of websites that you defined in the Web URL Filter settings cannot
override the Web Reputation Filter settings.
For example, a website is permitted by the Web URL Filter setting, but it has
reputation score lower than the web reputation threshold, the connection to this
website will be blocked even if it is in the whitelist, unless you change the web
reputation threshold.
Managing the Security Services
Use the Dashboard page to view the status of the security license, enable or
disable the security services, and check new updates for all signature-based
security services.
Enabling the security services consumes additional system resources and may
impact the system performance. Go to the Status -> Dashboard page to view the
CPU and memory utilization. To conserve the system resources, disable the
security services when they are no longer needed.
Click Security Services -> Dashboard.
The Dashboard window opens.
In the License Status area, check the expiration date for the security license. If the
security license expires, go to the Device Management -> License Management
page to renew the license.
In the Settings Summary area, you can perform the following tasks:
