IDS and IPS

Advanced security solutions that monitor the network to detect threats based on a database of known behaviors and payload signatures.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)

Advanced security solutions that intercept and block suspicious traffic based on a database of known behaviors and payload signatures.

Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS)

Operating mode for IDS devices where they attach to the network as passive listeners, alerting network administrators of any suspicious behavior.

Tap Mode

Operating mode for IPS devices where they are positioned in the middle of the traffic stream to intercept and block suspicious traffic.

In-Line Mode

Method used by IPS devices to block traffic, particularly files known to carry viruses or malware, based on the frequency of such files being found to be malicious.

Reputation-Based Protection

Virtualized versions of IDS and IPS devices that can be deployed on virtualized environments.

Virtual Appliances

IPS and IDS applications that are installed on servers or workstations to provide intrusion detection and prevention capabilities.
