1 - Overview

Service Overview

IPS(Intrusion Prevention System) continuously updates IPS intrusion detection policies reflecting the latest security threats to respond in real time. Additionally, it detects up to the application layer through packet monitoring.

Features

  • Latest Attack Type Detection: Generate detection patterns for new threats, and improve detection rate through continuous signature management. Apply the TI DB of security specialist companies and self-developed advanced detection policies, and provide services by correlational analysis of the relationship between attack patterns detected by IPS and patterns set in SIEM (Security Information and Event Management).
  • Cloud Optimized Operations: We provide detection services optimized for cloud environments. When a security threat occurs, we respond quickly through security professionals.
  • Efficient response and support: Monthly reports are provided to check the details of the event.
