Configure Recurring Intrusion Rule Updates
As new vulnerabilities become known, the Cisco Talos Intelligence Group (Talos) releases intrusion rule
updates that you can import onto your FMC, and then implement by deploying the changed configuration to
your managed devices. These updates affect intrusion rules, preprocessor rules, and the policies that use the
rules. Intrusion rule updates are cumulative, and Cisco recommends you always import the latest update.
Before you begin
Make sure the FMC can access the internet.
