Intrusion Prevention
By Madhuri Narayan
"An intrusion prevention system is a network security device that monitors network and/or system activities for malicious or unwanted behavior and can react, in real-time, to block or prevent those activities. Network-based IPS, for example, will operate in-line to monitor all network traffic for malicious code or attacks. When an attack is detected, it can drop the offending packets while still allowing all other traffic to pass. Intrusion prevention technology is considered by some to be an extension of intrusion detection (IDS) technology.
Attackers are increasingly turning to highly targeted external and internal attacks. Sometimes, these attacks are so highly focused, that they target just the key individuals with access to enterprise resources. With many attacks being too small to fall within the anti-virus and anti-malware radar, enterprises are turning to advanced IPS engines for zero-hour protection. Cyberoam’s Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) solution provides powerful protection by blocking intrusion attempts, protecting against malware, Trojans, DoS attacks, malicious code transmission, backdoor activity and blended threats. It is a subscription service, offering the most comprehensive, zero-hour protection to enterprises in combination with the Cyberoam firewall, gateway anti-virus and anti-spyware, anti-spam and content filtering services."
