The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
Figure 2-2: IPS Scenarios
IPS is an advanced technology to protect your network from malicious attacks. IPS works together with your SPI
Firewall, IP Based Access List (IP ACL), Network Address Port Translation (NAPT), and Virtual Private Network
(VPN) to achieve the highest amount of securities.
IPS works by providing real-time detection and prevention as an in-line module in a router. The Wireless-N
Security Router has hardware-based acceleration for real-time pattern matching for malicious attacks. It actively
filters and drops malicious TCP/UDP/ICMP/IGMP packets and can reset TCP connections. This protects your client
PCs and servers running various operating systems including Windows, Linux, and Solaris from network worm
attacks. However, this system does not prevent viruses attached emails.
