Shield Your Network from Malicious Traffic

Online attacks and malware continue to evolve, using sophisticated methods to exploit victims. WatchGuard Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) provides a preemptive approach to network security that adds an essential layer of threat detection and prevention. IPS protects your network from a wide range of malicious activities, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and buffer overflows.

Instantly Detect and Prevent Vulnerability Exploits

Exploits happen in near real time. That is why WatchGuard’s IPS has been designed to instantly and proactively identify and defend against suspicious network traffic using high-performance, deep-packet inspection across all ports and protocols. IPS provides around-the-clock defense against malicious activity that is designed to compromise and damage your organization. If an IP address is identified as the source of an attack, it can be automatically blocked to prevent further threats from attempting to enter your network.

Stay Ahead of the Evolving Threat Landscape

To make sure you are staying ahead of the evolving threat landscape, IPS constantly looks for new signatures every hour and applies automatic updates to the signature database, protecting your network from the latest threats while avoiding labor-intensive upkeep. Each signature update is also made without interruption to the security service – so you never leave your network exposed.

Customizable settings enable you to quickly select full scan or quick scan options based on performance and threat detection requirements. You can also choose to allow (log only), block, or drop questionable traffic based on type, user, group, protocol, and severity, as well as set alarms for when IPS detects threats.
