It is highly recommended that you test custom IDS rules in a test environment before you import them. Custom IDS rules may cause performance issues, in which case stable performance of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform is not guaranteed
IDs and attributes of custom rules may be modified when they are uploaded. Reject and Drop actions are changed to Alert. Rules with the Pass action are deleted

The user-defined IDS rule is imported into the application, replacing the previously imported rule.
