What is the significance of the 7 day period in ASM security policy

Hi;

 

After 7 days the signatures are not enforced until we change the mode from transparent to blocking and enforce the signatures out of staging. My question is, what is the significance of the default 7 day period. Is it that the signatures become ready for enforcement after this period.

 

Kindly Wasfi

    Hi,

     

    when you first activate a security policy, the system puts the attack signatures into staging (if staging is enabled). Staging means that the system applies the attack signatures to the web application traffic, but does not apply the blocking policy block action to requests that trigger those attack signatures. The default staging period is seven days.
