Hi @rinvn ,

IPS engine only can be upgrade manually using:
1.Firmware upgrade

2.Upload to the firewall.

Automatically upgrade the IPS engine is not available as this will impact current production.

Hello rinvn,

 

IPS engine will be automatically upgraded only with a firmware upgrade (if the IPS engine upgrade has been included in that particular firmware build). Else, it will be the same as earlier firmware version.

 

Best Regards,

Mohammed Ahmed

      When a FortiGate is configured for automatic FortiGuard updates and has policies configured to use the IPS engine, it downloads new releases of the IPS engine that are available through the FortiGuard Distribution Network. The IPS Engine package released to FortiGuard is unavailable for manual download.
