Preventing attacks
NIDS attack prevention protects the FortiGate unit and the networks connected to it
from common TCP, ICMP, UDP, and IP attacks. You can enable the NIDS attack
prevention to prevent a set of default attacks with default threshold values. You can
also enable and set the threshold values for individual attack signatures.
