Configure Cyber Shield using the Wizard

The Cyber Shield Wizard explains Domain and Traffic Filtering and facilitates easy setup using preset protection levels.

The first time you visit the Shield > Overview section, the Wizard starts guiding you with a two-step setup:

Step 1 of 2 is to enable Domain Filtering to monitor domain requests and block domain name resolutions of websites belonging to specific content categories. Four Protection Levels are displayed for selection: Basic Protection, Safe Browsing, High Productivity, and Monitor Only. For more details on the content categories included in these Protection Levels, refer to Domain Filtering Protection Levels and Content Categories .

The Basic Protection level is recommended as a minimum. The desired Protection Level can be selected and applied by clicking Enable, or skip this step by clicking Skip.

Step 2 of 2 is to enable Traffic Filtering. The Cyber Shield Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors and reports any malicious activity and policy violations. The Cyber Shield Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) drops traffic detected as a security threat. Four Protection Levels are displayed for selection: Critical (IPS), Critical and High (IPS), Critical, High, and Medium (IPS), and Monitor Only (IDS). For more details, refer to Traffic Filtering Priorities, Categories, and Protection Levels.

The Critical (IPS) Protection level is recommended as a minimum. The desired Protection Level can be selected and applied by clicking Enable, or skip this step by clicking Skip.
