Top Layer IPS

The IPS 5500 EC-Series models are the company's most advanced family of Intrusion Prevention Systems with copper network interfaces. They include the Model 75EC, optimized for cost-effective remote-site deployments.

The IPS 5500 ES-Series models are the company's most advanced family of Intrusion Prevention Systems with flexible fiber and copper network interfaces.

Corero's IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) delivers the most comprehensive network protection compared to other IPS products. Corero's IPS solution comprises (i) an in-line, transparent network appliance, (ii) Network Security Analyzer Software, a powerful real-time security event manager, (iii) IPS Controller software, a centralized management module for multi-device deployments and (iv) TopResponse™, a comprehensive threat update service together with (v) Hardware and software support & maintenance.

Our continued commitment to providing the most innovative IPS has led to the development of the company’s 4th-generation IPS solution, the EC-Series and ES-Series models. As the latest models in the E-Series IPS family, the EC/ES-Series are powered by Tilera’s revolutionary multicore technology that delivers the company’s proven Enterprise-class IPS protection in a high-performance, low power, small footprint, ultra-reliable hardware appliance. This innovative multicore architecture includes “Hot Standby Tiles” for future expansion, providing customers with today’s best features and tremendous investment protection for tomorrow. The new EC-Series and ES-Series models are the company's most advanced family of Intrusion Prevention Systems. The ES-Series models have flexible fiber and copper network interfaces. The EC-Series models have copper network interfaces and built-in zero power bypass functions. The EC-Series also includes the Model 75EC, optimized for cost-effective remote-site deployments.
