Which action should you take after applying a block-all IPS profile that caused applications to...

In high-security environments, applying a restrictive IPS profile can sometimes lead to false positives , where legitimate application traffic is incorrectly identified as a threat and blocked. The standard troubleshooting procedure is to change the signature action to monitor mode .

Monitor mode allows the traffic to pass through while still generating logs in FortiAnalyzer or the FortiGate dashboard. By reviewing these logs, an administrator can identify the exact signature ID causing the issue and subsequently create an IPS sensor override or exception for that specific traffic, ensuring the application works while maintaining security for other threats.
