Analyze the eight laws of IPS screening with you

Security Managers face many challenges in protecting enterprise network servers from attacks. Although the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) was once widely used, the attack methods on the Internet are constantly being improved. At the same time, the signature technology IDS cannot detect new and deformation attacks, therefore, traditional IDS gradually show their limitations in terms of initiative.

So what are the choices for enterprises? Intrusion Protection System (IPS) is a general trend of enterprise's next-generation security system. It can not only detect, but also block them before the attack causes damage, so as to raise IDS to a new level. The obvious difference between IDS and IPS is that IPS blocks viruses, while IDS clears viruses after a virus outbreak.

Currently, many products on the market are labeled as "protection. However, a real intrusion protection solution allows enterprises to take measures to protect the system without analysis. It also prevents attacks from damaging the operating system, applications, and data. McAfee believes that an ideal intrusion protection solution should include the following eight features:

Active and real-time attack prevention

Attacks should be identified before any unauthorized activities begin and prevented from entering important server resources.

Patch waiting Protection

Patch Management is a complex process. During the development and installation of patches, smart hackers may damage servers and important data. the McAfee IntruShield Intrusion Protection solution can provide system administrators with Patch protection and sufficient time to wait, to test and install patches.

Protect every important Server

The server has the most sensitive enterprise data and is the main target of most hacker attacks. By configuring IntruShield, you can set a dedicated protection solution for the server to provide deep protection for important resources of the enterprise.

Signature and behavior rules

The most effective way to detect intrusions is to adopt a hybrid approach, that is, to integrate the signature and behavior rules for specific attacks. This hybrid approach provides protection against known and unknown attacks, while keeping the false positive rate at the lowest level without any loss concessions. Through Signature settings, McAfee IntruShield sets an intrusion protection solution in "in-line" mode to capture attack packets, in this way, hackers can block vulnerabilities before they launch attacks.

Deep Protection

Powerful security is based on the concept of deep defense. IntruShield's unique architecture and integrated patented technologies can protect networks with the strictest requirements.

Manageability

The ideal intrusion protection solution allows security settings and policies to be used by various applications, user groups, and proxies, reducing the cost of installing and maintaining large security products. McAfee IntruShield is highly automatic, easy to manage, and flexible. It can be installed in stages to avoid the inevitable false alarms of existing IDS.

Scalability

Large distributed enterprises require scalable scalability to achieve a large number of protected servers, large traffic, and scattered security management. The IntruShield solution with good scalability provides a comprehensive protection system that can span enterprise core networks, enterprise border networks, and branch networks.

Proven Protection Technology

It is important to determine whether the solution to be selected is based on the industry's advanced technologies, whether it has been fully tested, used, and continuously maintained.

Therefore, both hybrid threats and malicious attacks require a set of appropriate security solutions. Intrusion protection not only detects malicious code and attacks in and out of the network, but also blocks these attacks before they occur.

When purchasing a product, enterprises can compare and test the above eight laws to select appropriate products and solutions.
