What type of alerts does adding Deep Security Manager's IP address to the Ignore reconnaissance IP list prevent?

Adding Deep Security Manager's IP address to the Ignore reconnaissance IP list is specifically aimed at preventing Reconnaissance Scan alerts. This type of alert is triggered when potential threats scan for vulnerabilities within the protected network. By including the Deep Security Manager's IP address in the ignore list, you tell the system to disregard scan attempts originating from that address. This is useful because the Deep Security Manager itself needs to perform scans for its operations without raising unnecessary alarms that could clutter the alerting system.

This action helps focus on legitimate threats rather than internal operations, allowing the security team to concentrate on real security incidents rather than benign activity originating from their own management infrastructure. Understanding this context ensures effective use of the Deep Security Manager without compromising security intelligence.
