Intrusion Prevention
Identify and stop worms, exploits and other attacks.
By peering into the network’s approved traffic, Astaro’s Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) can separate the good traffic from the hazardous traffic and keep your network safe from outside assaults. For businesses that do not run their own servers, Astaro’s Intrusion Prevention System can stop an already-infected-machine from threatening others on an associated network.
An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) can identify and stop many threats, exploits, back-door programs, and other attacks as they pass through the device. An IPS can strongly bolster a firewalls security policy by helping ensure that traffic which is allowed to pass via the firewall rule policy is further inspected to make sure it does not contain unwanted threats.
Even with good patching practices, a company can find itself faced with a threat that affects its systems and resources. It is in these situations that IPS can often shine, as patterns to catch the threat are released before an official update or patch is made available - protecting the business during this crucial period. Astaro’s IPS is a deep-packet-inspection system which peers inside the traffic packets as they pass through the installation, and can remove certain packets which contain undesired contents that are matched against a deployable rules list of over 8000 patterns. This signature list of patterns is live-updated every few minutes and constantly adapts and evolves to keep you protected from threats as they emerge and spread.
