What does the Intrusion Prevention Rule Groups feature allow?

The Intrusion Prevention Rule Groups feature is designed to enhance the management of intrusion prevention rules within Trend Micro Deep Security. By allowing users to limit the display of rules to specified groups, this feature helps streamline operations and improves efficiency when configuring security measures.

When working with numerous intrusion prevention rules, categorizing them into groups makes it easier for administrators to focus on relevant rules based on specific needs or criteria. This organized approach aids in quickly identifying which rules should be activated or modified for specific applications or environments, thereby optimizing the security posture of the system.

While the other choices suggest functionalities that may seem logical, they do not accurately reflect the targeted purpose of the Intrusion Prevention Rule Groups feature. For instance, displaying all rules regardless of categories could lead to confusion and complexity, merging all rules into one category would negate the organizational benefits that groups provide, and automating rule configuration implies a level of functionality that is outside the core purpose of managing rule visibility. Hence, limiting the display to specified groups is the primary and most effective use of this feature.
