Intrusion Prevention System Overview

Network-based Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) provides enterprises and service providers with unparalleled protection against external and internal attacks. Exponential rises in the number of application vulnerabilities and increasingly complex gigabit-level DOS (Denial of Service) attacks have rendered traditional Firewalls ineffective at protecting today’s networks. While Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) can often detect these attacks, these passive systems offer little more than an after-the-fact notification.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solutions are designed to examine all traffic that passes through it to detect and stop undesired access, malicious content and inappropriate transaction rates from penetrating or adversely affecting the availability of critical IT resources. Analogous to anti-virus systems, IPS units can be centrally managed and armed with additional filters whenever a new vulnerability is discovered. More akin to switches than sensors, IPS units are typically installed as part of the network infrastructure, both at the perimeter and in the core of the network.
