8.1.1 Subscription Services Available on the ZyWALL

The ZyWALL can use content filtering and IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention)
subscription services.
Content filtering allows or blocks access to web sites. Subscribe to category-based content
filtering to block access to categories of web sites based on content. Your ZyWALL accesses
an external database that has millions of web sites categorized based on content. You can have
the ZyWALL block, block and/or log access to web sites based on these categories.
The IDP feature uses the signature files on the ZyWALL to detect malicious or suspicious
packets and respond immediately. After the service is activated, the ZyWALL can download
the up-to-date signature files from the update server (http://myupdate.zywall.zyxel.com).
You will get automatic e-mail notification of new signature releases from mySecurityZone
after you activate the IDP service. You can also check for new signatures at
mysecurity.zyxel.com.
See the chapters about content filtering and IDP for more information.
