Applying anaggressive IPS profilewithout prior testing candisrupt legitimate applicationsby incorrectly identifying normal traffic as malicious. To prevent disruptions while still monitoring for threats:

●Enable IPS in "Monitor Mode" first:

● This allows FortiGate tolog and analyzepotential threatswithout actively blockingtraffic.

● Administrators can review logs and fine-tune IPS signatures to minimize false positives before switching to blocking mode.

●Verify and adjust signature patterns:

● Some signatures might trigger unnecessary blocks for legitimate application traffic.

● By analyzing logs, administrators candisable or modifyspecific rules causing false positives.
