Attack prevention
With attack prevention configured, the DFL-500 monitors Internet connections for up to 11 common network
attacks. If the DFL-500 detects one of these attacks, it takes action to prevent the attack from affecting your
Internet connection. All attacks are recorded in the attack log. You can also configure the DFL-500 to send
alert emails to system administrators if an attack is detected.
