Which type of rules typically require prior configuration before application?

Log Inspection Rules typically require prior configuration before application because they rely on predefined parameters regarding which logs to inspect and the conditions under which they should be monitored. Administrators need to configure the parameters and specify the kind of log data that should be collected and analyzed. This preparation is essential to ensure the rules provide meaningful insights and effectively monitor for security events.

In contrast, other rule types, such as Anti-malware Rules and Intrusion Prevention Rules, may operate using default settings or predefined protocols that don’t always necessitate extensive prior configuration to begin basic functions. Application Type Rules also rely on specific configurations but generally focus on identifying certain types of applications running in the environment without extensive preparatory steps.
