Delete a Custom Signature List
In addition to the default Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) signature lists, the Umbrella IPS provides the option to create custom signature lists. Once created, you can apply a custom signature list to the IPS setting in your firewall policy.
If a custom signature list is not applied to a firewall policy, you can remove the signature list from the IPS setting. After a custom signature list is activated in a firewall policy, you cannot delete the signature list from the IPS settings until you enable another signature list in the policy.
