Intrusion Protection

I currently don't have a license for the manged IPS service and only use what little the home license provides.

My home security cameras picked up a neighbor (a retired database engineer) placing a small device on my front lawn.  Walking away for an hour, then returning to retrieve it.  I'm assuming it's a nefarious network device and I'm  wondering how the UTM logs would pick up related intrusion attempts.

Thanks,

  • The 'little home license' provides IPS.  Matter of fact, there are only a couple of items it doesn't support, such as Sandstorm and BasicGuard support.  Other than that, you are getting a LOT of coverage for a free license, including Network Protection.

    Very odd that your neighbor would be doing this and you believe it to be a network intrusion device.  You would see attempts in your Network Protection logs and most likely in the Statistics window when you open Network Protection.  

    Then I would make a call to police about the malicious activity if you discovered it was a device your neighbor placed on your property designed to attempt intrusion.
