Abstract: High Performance Network Security

Security appliances are now a mainstay in the corporate security arsenal. Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) are one of the leading categories of security appliances. Unlike traditional devices like firewalls which examine packet headers alone, an IPS examines the entire packet – called deep packet inspection – and is capable of detecting and blocking application level attacks such as the Blaster worm that exploited specific DCOM RPC vulnerabilities that firewalls let pass. An IPS can effectively bring both deep packet inspection and stateful pattern matching together with security enforcement and blocking to recognize and stop malicious traffic.
