Protection level | Protection action | Description |
Loose | Filters SYN and ACK data packets with explicit attack attributes. Filters TCP, UDP, and ICMP data packets that are not compliant with the protocol specification. Filters UDP data packets with explicit attack attributes. | This protection level uses a loose cleansing policy and defends against only explicit attack packets. We recommend that you choose this protection level when normal requests are blocked. Complex attack packets may bypass the security system. |
Medium | Filters SYN and ACK data packets with explicit attack attributes. Filters TCP, UDP, and ICMP data packets that are not compliant with the protocol specification. Filters UDP data packets with explicit attack attributes. Filters common UDP-based attack packages. Actively verifies the source IP addresses of some access attempts. | This protection level uses a cleansing policy that is suitable for most businesses and capable of defending against common attacks. This is the default protection level. |
Strict | Filters SYN and ACK data packets with explicit attack attributes. Filters TCP, UDP, and ICMP data packets that are not compliant with the protocol specification. Strictly checks and filters UDP data packets with explicit attack attributes and UDP-based attack packets. Actively verifies the source IP addresses of some access attempts. Filters ICMP attack packages. | The cleansing policy is strict. We recommend you use this level when attack packets bypass the security system in the Normal mode. |
