The Anti-spyware profile includes DNS-based protections like sinkholing and detection of DNS queries to malicious domains, offering real-time protection against attacks that exploit DNS misconfigurations.

''The Anti-Spyware profile protects against DNS-based threats by sinkholing DNS queries to malicious domains and detecting suspicious DNS activity, thus blocking data exfiltration and C2 communication.''

IoT Security uses MAC address, device manufacturer, and OS information to identify and classify devices via Device-ID.

''IoT Security uses passive network traffic analysis to fingerprint devices based on the MAC address, manufacturer, and operating system to ensure accurate classification.''

(Source: IoT Security Device-ID and Classification)

These attributes provide a robust, manufacturer-agnostic method to fingerprint IoT devices.

For IoT Security to accurately classify and monitor IoT devices, the following logs must be forwarded to Strata Logging Service:

Enhanced application logs -- provide detailed application usage and behaviors, essential for profiling device types and roles.

''Enhanced Application logs provide additional context on IoT device behavior and usage patterns, and must be forwarded to Strata Logging Service for IoT Security to build accurate Device-ID profiles.''

Threat logs -- essential for detecting suspicious or malicious activities by IoT devices.

''Threat logs are critical for identifying potential exploits or suspicious activities involving IoT devices and are required for accurate threat visibility within IoT Security.''

These logs collectively ensure accurate device classification and real-time threat visibility.

Negated source addresses exclude traffic from the specified region. To avoid accidental connectivity loss for traffic from that region, create a separate Security policy to explicitly permit it.

''When you use a negated region in a Security policy rule, ensure to create an additional Security policy to permit traffic from the excluded (negated) region to avoid unintentional drops.''

This ensures explicit inclusivity for the excluded region, maintaining reliable connectivity.

Single floating IP address (also known as a floating IP or shared IP) is supported only in an active/passive HA pair. In active/active HA, both firewalls are forwarding traffic simultaneously and thus do not share a single floating IP.

''In active/passive HA, a single floating IP address is used for seamless failover. Active/active HA requires separate IP addresses and does not support a single floating IP.''

(Source: Active/Passive vs. Active/Active HA)

This simplifies failover in active/passive deployments by using a single shared IP that moves to the active peer upon failover.
