A battle rages every day in the world of business as cyber attacks threaten to compromise the security of network resources and data. Meanwhile, attackers are constantly inventing new ways to bypass traditional protective measures such as antiviruses, inter-grid screens, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS).
IPS, which comes in several types, helps classify methods of detecting and preventing attacks:
| IPS Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Signature IPS | Detects attacks based on known signatures or attack templates, requiring constant updates to its database to remain effective. |
| Anomalous IPS | Detects attacks by analyzing network behavior for anomalies or deviations from normal, using machine learning and statistical analysis to identify potential attacks. |
| Hybrid IPS | A combination of the signature and anomalous IPS approaches, providing wider protection against different types of attacks. |
IPS is most effective when used in conjunction with other security devices, such as intrusion detection systems (IDS) and firewalls, ensuring the highest level of network protection.
