Which sensor configuration is most likely to increase CPU usage during IPS inspection?

Setting the action to monitor for all signatures

Disabling logging for IPS events

Using a single signature with a simple filter

Enabling a large number of signatures with complex filters

An administrator has an IPS sensor that uses the 'All_Signatures' set. They notice that a specific signature is causing false positives on a legacy application. They want to stop the false positives while keeping the rest of the sensor active. What should they do?

Increase the sensor's severity threshold to 'high'.

Remove the sensor from the policy.

Change the sensor's action to 'monitor' for all signatures.

Disable the specific signature in the sensor.

What is the purpose of disabling a specific IPS signature in a sensor?

To increase the detection sensitivity of other signatures

To reduce false positives for that signature in the network

To permanently remove the signature from the FortiGate

To update the signature to the latest version
