Exclude or include attack signatures in monitoring
In some cases, benign network activity may appear similar to an attack signature. You may receive repeated notifications about possible attacks. If you know that the attacks that trigger these notifications are safe, you can create exclusion for the attack signature that matches the benign activity.
Each exclusion that you create leaves your computer vulnerable to attacks.
If you have excluded the attack signatures that you want to monitor again, you can include them in the list of active signatures.
