About the White Paper:
The intrusion-prevention system (IPS) attempts to be proactive and is designed to stop intrusions dead, blocking the offending traffic before it does any damage rather than simply raising an alert as, or after, the malicious payload has been delivered. It achieves this by sitting directly in-line with the network traffic -- one network port accepts traffic from the external system, and another port transmits it to the internal system after it has been checked for anomalies or suspicious content. Thus, problem packets -- and all subsequent packets from the same data flow -- can simply be discarded within the IPS appliance. |
