Windows update watchguard

When you change configuration of the update server for any of these subscription services, the settings apply to all of these services. The size of the Application Control signature set depends on your Firebox hardware platform and software version. To make sure that the Firebox can connect to the update server, you must add at least one DNS server to your network configuration. If you change the URL accidentally or incorrectly, restore it to a previous settings.

For information about how to see the status of signature updates, and how to manually force an update to the most current signatures, see Subscription Services Status and Manual Signatures Updates. For security reasons, some customer environments require direct control over the distribution and installation of periodic signature updates for signature services such as Gateway AntiVirus, Intrusion Prevention, and Data Loss Prevention. WatchGuard offers Offline Signature Updates that enable you to download the latest signatures for these services directly from WatchGuard, and then use a script to manually install these files on your Fireboxes.

A special set of credentials are required to access the signature update files from the WatchGuard servers. For more information about this feature, contact WatchGuard technical support.
