Intrusion Prevention

Network data can be attacked from either inside or outside threats. A firewall alone does not provide visibility for identifiing and controlling threats from unauthorized access, back-door attacks, worms or other malicious attacks. An Intrusion Prevention device drastically improves network and host security by identifying potential intrusion and recognizable attacks and blocking them instantly and automatically.

Intrusion Prevention Technology Brief An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) stops targeting and random attacks by using either pattern matching or protocol decoding to quickly detect the attack. Intentional evasion of security devices, polymorphic attacks, as well as protocol and network anomalies are often detected and built-in countermeasures used to thwart the attack. The ability to quickly and effortlessly update network attack signatures is critical in protecting from new network threats. As an added service, FiLink's security analysts can provide around the clock monitoring and management of the Intrusion Prevention Device.
