FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object

Applies to: desktop apps only

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.

Members

The FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object has these types of members:

Methods
Properties

Methods

The FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object has these methods.

Method	Description
ActivateSignatureSet	Activates the most recent signature set or a specified available signature set.
ResetConfiguration	Resets the configuration of the Network Inspection System (NIS) signatures.

Properties

The FPCNetworkInspectionSystem object has these properties.

Property	Access type	Description
ActiveSignatureSet	Read-only	Gets an FPCNisSignatureSet object that specifies the active signature set.
AvailableSignatureSets	Read-only	Gets an FPCNisAvailableSignatureSets collection that contains all available signature sets.
Enabled	Read/write	Gets or sets a Boolean value that indicates whether the Network Inspection System (NIS) is enabled.
ExcludedHttpDomainNameSets	Read-only	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.
ExcludedIPs	Read-only	Gets an FPCSelectionIPs object that specifies the IP addresses for which the Network Inspection System (NIS) is disabled.
InitialSignatureConfiguration	Read/write	Gets or sets a value from the FpcNisInitialSignatureConfiguration enumerated type that specifies the initial configuration for new signatures.
MostRecentSignatureSetUsed	Read-only	Gets a Boolean value that indicates whether the most recent signature set is used.
ProtocolAnomaliesPolicy	Read/write	Gets or sets a value from the FpcNisProtocolAnomaliesPolicy enumerated type that indicates the Network Inspection System (NIS) policy for protocol anomalies.
ProtocolsInspectedOnLocalHost	Read-only	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.
