It is a best practice to use IDS/IPS as part of an advanced security posture regardless of whether Application ID is used. The Profile should be configured on all Policy Ruleset Rules where Application ID detection and protection is desired. Policy Ruleset Rule for specifying the IDS/IPS Profile and the Service Object to enable detection and protectionĪpplication ID requires an IDS/IPS Profile to enable the Application ID detection engine.

Service Object for specifying the Application IDs to be used to match traffic.Application Info in Traffic Summary -> Logs for viewing the detected Application IDs for each session.IPS/IDS Profile for enabling the Application ID detection engine.Valtix Application ID uses a set of capabilities for detecting and protecting applications and services: More advanced protection uses Application ID information. Basic protection uses layer 4 information. When Application IDs are known, they can be used in a more advanced security posture to permit or block traffic, and to provide protections against malicious intent. This classification is referred to as Application ID. When that signature is evaluated, the application or service can be classified more precisely. In reality, applications and services can communicate using most any port, and when they have malicious intent, or are compromised to become malicious in intent, the use of layer 4 mappings for securing a network is insufficient.Įvery application or service has a signature. Assuming applications and services adhere to the IANA convention and are trustworthy, use of this mapping would be sufficient when securing a network. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a list of known service names, port numbers and protocols that are generally useful.

Traffic is commonly classified as a particular application or service using layer 4 port and protocol information.
