Install updates

Install firmware and intrusion prevention updates to improve the appliance and the network protection provided by the appliance.

Important: After we install firmware updates, we must restart the appliance.

Firmware updates contain new program files, fixes or patches, enhancements, and online help.

Intrusion prevention updates contain the most recent security content provided by IBM X-Force research and development team. Any X-Force content update takes effect only after you restart the related web reverse proxy instances.
