Intrusion Prevention System

At ANS Group we know that business networks of all sizes face increasingly sophisticated attacks that can impede productivity, obstruct access to applications and resources, and disrupt communications.

Due to compliance regulations and consumer privacy laws, corporations must now add a new set of network security priorities that:

• Minimise legal liability
• Protect brand reputation
• Safeguard intellectual property

Cisco

The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) protects your entire network with a range of deployment options. This inline, network-based defense identifies, classifies, and stops known and unknown threats to your network, including:

• Worms
• Network viruses
• System intrusion attempts
• Application misuse

Cisco IPS Sensors and Cisco IPS Sensor Software, deliver high-performance, intelligent threat detection and protection. Cisco IPS with Global Correlation uses global threat information that has been turned into actionable intelligence, such as reputation scores, and pushed out to all enabled technologies. Reputation filtering and global inspection give Cisco IPS 7.0 several advantages:

• Twice the effectiveness of signature-only IPS
• More accurate with fewer false-positives using reputation
• 100 times faster than traditional signature-only methods

IBM
