Note that alerts and Adaptive Rules are not enabled by default. This functionality is also available via 
the

 CLI command (see the Cisco IronPort AsyncOS CLI Reference Guide). After you 

make your changes, submit and commit them.

To enable the Outbreak Filters feature globally, check the box next to Enable Outbreak Filters on the 
Outbreak Filters Global Settings page, and click Submit. You must have agreed to the Outbreak Filters 
license agreement first.

Once enabled globally, the Outbreak Filters feature can then be enabled or disabled individually for each 
incoming and outgoing mail policy, including the default policies. For more information, see 

The Outbreak Filters feature uses the Context Adaptive Scanning Engine (CASE) to detect viral threats, 
regardless of whether anti-spam scanning is enabled, but you do need to have Cisco IronPort Anti-Spam 
or Intelligent Multi-Scan enabled globally on the aplliance in order to scan for non-viral threats.

If you have not already agreed to the license during system setup (see 

), you 

must click Enable on the Security Services > Outbreak Filters page, and then read and agree to the 
license.
