Intrusion Prevention System
These days, attacks on IT systems are increasingly being launched through applications, which means that traditional firewall systems often cannot recognize the attacks. The reliability of antivirus solutions for PCs and laptops is limited by the sheer volume of new trojans, worms, and spyware. Thus making it all the more worthwhile to proactively monitor data traffic and actively combat any intruders.
New application vulnerabilities are reported each day, making the centralized administration of software patches very difficult to put into practice. More and more, malware finds its way into the company network, resulting in production downtime, a negative impact on network performance, and high costs.
Managed IPS (intrusion prevention system) is a service designed to protect your company data. It is a proactive means of monitoring your network traffic. Unlike traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS), IPS not only recognizes the oncoming attack, but actively combats it. Managed IPS works at the level of data flow, checking network traffic with the assistance of intelligent filters and blocking insecure data flows in real time.
Managed IPS protects your company from a wide variety of menaces, including:
- Worms
- Viruses
- Trojans
- Internet attacks
- Attacks on routers, switches and firewalls
- DoS (denial of service) attacks, e.g., SYN floods
- DDoS (distributed DoS) attacks
- Compromised performance caused by peer-to-peer networks
or messaging
- Traffic anomalies
