This may be a "duh" for most, but I had a heck of a time figuring this out. I was recently thrown a few Fortigates my way with very quick turnaround for implementation. The videos and documents always reference "[size="2"]To create an IPS sensor, go to [/size][size="2"]Intrusion Protection > IPS Sensor [/size][size="2"]and [/size]select Create New". But that option is not there unless you enable the multiple security profiles.
Enabling Multiple security profiles:
System>Config>Features (click on show more).
enable Multiple Security profiles
I hope this helps someone starting out with IPS/App control features.
Thanks for the post. I don't think we can have too much information. Thanks again!
