The Network Secure device is connected to the cloud, actively downloads the hacker IP address from the cloud, and synchronizes it to the local host to protect the business assets against intrusion from the hacker IP addresses added to the protection list. When the traffic from the hacker IP addresses passes Network Secure, the source IP address that matches successfully will be automatically blocked. In case of false positives, you can unblock the IP address. Once unblocked, the cloud hacker IP database will no longer block this IP address. The cloud hacker IP database is automatically updated every 2 hours to obtain the latest intelligence.
