IPS sensors
You can group signatures into IPS sensors for easy selection in protection
profiles. You can define signatures for specific types of traffic in separate IPS
sensors, and then select those sensors in profiles designed to handle that type of
traffic. For example, you can specify all of the web-server related signatures in an
IPS sensor, and the sensor can then be used by a protection profile in a policy
that controls all of the traffic to and from a web server protected by the FortiGate
unit.

The FortiGuard Service periodically updates the pre-defined signatures, with
signatures added to counter new threats. Because the signatures included in
filters are defined by specifying signature attributes, new signatures matching
existing filter specifications will automatically be included in those filters. For
example, if you have a filter that includes all signatures for the Windows operating
system, your filter will automatically incorporate new Windows signatures as they
are added.
