Intrusion Prevention

High Accuracy Attack Detection

With the increased complexity and sophistication of today's security threats, a firewall is not enough to keep your network safe. The MegaPath Intrusion Prevention service constantly monitors your network traffic for any potential threats to your network data. Leveraging a continually updated IPS signature database, MegaPath provides real-time, reliable protection from network and application attacks such as worms, viruses, Trojans, DoS, DDoS, SQL injections, and other blended threats, without degrading network performance.

The Intrusion Prevention service blocks known attacks that don't violate protocol standards or behavioral rules but carry malicious content. It offers proactive protection against zero day attacks and eliminates the window of vulnerability for new and emerging threats when signatures are not available.
