Intrusion Prevention

IPS stands for Intrusion Prevention System. Intrusion means finding loopholes in the network and taking advantage of it. Intrusion is inappropriate, incorrect, or anomalous activity on host based or network-based systems. Malicious activity such as denial of service attacks, port-scans, or attempts to crack into computers are done by monitoring network traffic. Worms, Trojans, Spyware, Keyloggers, and other Malwares attacks. Intruders seek old, unpatched vulnerabilities as well as newly discovered vulnerabilities in Operating systems, Network services, and Protocols and take advantage of it.
