No. The IG200/IG2000 is a Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) System, meaning that it monitors dozens of parameters within Layer 2, 3 and 4 headers to analyze subtle changes in the rate of network traffic within these parameters to recognize and prevent attacks. As such, it is not dependent on matching specific attack signatures to provide effective protection.
