About the Access Appliance intrusion prevention system
The appliance intrusion prevention system (IPS) consists of a custom Symantec Data Center Security (SDCS) policy that runs automatically at startup. The IPS policy can proactively block unwanted resource access behaviors.
The following list contains some of the IPS policy features:
Restricted access to the root account by maintenance user.
Self-protection for the SDCS agent itself to ensure that the security features and monitoring features of SDCS are not compromised.
