IPS

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, packet monitoring detects up to the application layer.

Features

  • Latest Attack Type Detection: Generate detection patterns for new threats and improve detection rates through continuous signature management. Apply the TI DB of a security specialist company and our own advanced detection policies, and provide services by correlating attack patterns detected by IPS with patterns configured in SIEM(Security Information and Event Management) through correlation analysis.
  • Cloud Optimized Operations: We provide detection services optimized for cloud environments. When a security threat occurs, we respond promptly with specialized security personnel.
  • Efficient response and support: Monthly reports are provided so you can review the details of events.
