ASM signature update enforcement

Hi guys,

 

We have ASM policies in blocking mode and realtime policy building disabled on them. Now my question is when there are new signature as a result of update, would them be enforced at any point of time? I understand they will be put in staging after signature update, but I am not sure if they are taken out of staging if we have the policy building disabled? Can you please advise?

 

Thanks in advanced

    RasGhz, the new signatures (and optionally updated ones too if you check the box) will be in Staging until the Enforcement Readiness Period (default is 7 days) is over and there have been no violations on them. At this point you will need to remove them from staging by selecting Enforce. If there were any ones that did trigger a violation you need to double check whether it was a true positive - and Enforce - or a false positive - disable the signature.

     

    So, to confirm, it is not an automatic process.

     

    Hope this helps,
