FPCNetworkInspectionSystem Object
The FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object provides methods and properties for configuring the Network Inspection System (NIS).
NIS uses signatures of known vulnerabilities to detect and potentially block attacks based on exploits of such vulnerabilities in network traffic that uses specific application-level protocols, preventing protocol abuse. By providing signature-based protection against vulnerabilities, NIS closes the window between the disclosure of vulnerabilities and the development and deployment of patches from serveral weeks to a few hours.
This FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object is accessed through the NetworkInspectionSystem property of an FPCArray object.

Inheritance
This object inherits from the FPCPersist object, which contains methods and properties related to the persistent storage of an object's data. They include methods for exporting the object's data to and importing it from an XML document.
Methods
The FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object defines the following methods.
Method | Description |
---|---|
Activates the most recent signature set or a specified available signature set. |
|
Resets the configuration of the Network Inspection System (NIS) signatures. |
Properties
The FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object defines the following properties.
Property | Description |
---|---|
Gets an FPCNisSignatureSet object that specifies the active signature set. |
|
Gets an FPCNisAvailableSignatureSets collection that contains all available signature sets. |
|
Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the Network Inspection System (NIS) is enabled. |
|
Gets an FPCRefs collection that contains references to the FPCDomainNameSet collections defining the destination HTTP domain name sets for which the Network Inspection System (NIS) is disabled. |
|
Gets an FPCSelectionIPs object that specifies the IP addresses for which the Network Inspection System (NIS) is disabled. |
|
Gets or sets a value from the FpcNisInitialSignatureConfiguration enumerated type that specifies the initial configuration for new signatures. |
|
Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the most recent signature set is used. |
|
Gets or sets a value from the FpcNisProtocolAnomaliesPolicy enumerated type that indicates the Network Inspection System (NIS) policy for protocol anomalies. |
|
Gets an FPCRefs collection that contains references to the FPCProtocolDefinition objects defining the protocols which the Network Inspection System (NIS) will inspect on the local host. |
Methods Inherited from FPCPersist
Name | Description |
---|---|
CancelWaitForChanges | Cancels the registration established by the WaitForChanges method (for use in C and C++ programming only). |
CanImport | Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the object's properties can be imported from the specified XML document. |
Export | Writes the stored values of all of the object's properties to the specified XML document. |
ExportToFile | Writes the stored values of all of the object's properties to the specified XML file. |
GetServiceRestartMask | Retrieves a 32-bit bitmask of the FpcServices enumerated type that specifies which services need to be restarted for currently unsaved changes to take effect. |
Import | Copies the values of all of the object's properties from the specified XML document to persistent storage. |
ImportFromFile | Copies the values of all of the object's properties from the specified XML file to persistent storage. |
LoadDocProperties | Provides the XML document's properties so that you can know what information can be imported from the document. |
Refresh | Reads the values of all of the object's properties from persistent storage, overwriting any changes that have not been saved. |
Save | Writes the current values of all of the object's properties to persistent storage. |
WaitForChanges | Registers to wait for an event indicating that the contents of the object have changed (for use in C and C++ programming only). |
Properties Inherited from FPCPersist
Name | Description |
---|---|
PersistentName | Gets the persistent name of the object. The persistent name of an object is a name that is unique for the object at the respective level of the COM object hierarchy. |
VendorParameterSets | Gets an FPCVendorParametersSets object that can hold sets of custom data for extending the object. |
Interfaces for C++ Programming
This object implements the IFPCNetworkInspectionSystem interface.
