IPS definitions update

I'm looking at some firewalls and their security ratings , trying to clean some things up and I'm seeing several firewalls with what seems to be out of date IPS Definitions .

 

Are they not supposed to be updating Automatically or is this something I need to do Manually?

 

Thanks,

Hello actually I just looked and no there is no IPS security profile active on the ACL's. 

 

Is this why it's not updating?

Hi @nflnetwork29 

Thank you for choosing Fortinet Community!

Please run the command  and check the IPS attack Engine:

diagnose auto-update version 

Enable the Intrusion Prevention feature at System -> Feature Visibility

You need to apply the IPS Security Profile at least to one policy.

Please follow the KB for more details - https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Valid-IPS-license-but-not-showing-in-Forti...

 

Best regards,
