Under Attack?
Managed Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
Your perimeter blocks known exploits, malware and suspicious traffic continuously, with signature tuning, rule management and monitoring handled by our analysts.
What is an intrusion prevention system?
An intrusion prevention system (IPS) inspects network traffic in real time, identifies known exploits, malware and suspicious behaviour, and blocks or mitigates it at the point of entry. It sits inline, so traffic passes through it and action is taken as the traffic moves rather than after the fact.
An IPS is only as good as its tuning. Signatures change constantly, rules need shaping to your environment, and every blocked event needs someone to confirm the call was right. A managed service covers that work: deployment and policy configuration, signature and rule management, continuous monitoring, tuning to reduce false positives, and escalation when something needs a decision.
Traffic is examined at the perimeter, threats are blocked before they establish a foothold in the network, and your team gets a verified alert rather than a queue of raw events to triage.
The benefits of a Managed IPS investment
Managed IPS provides full value from your intrusion prevention investment, with expert management and continuous oversight built in. Areas you benefit from include:
-
Policy optimization: Threat defences stay aligned with emerging threats, eliminating configuration drift and unnecessary complexity.
-
Threat blocking at the perimeter: Malware, exploits, and suspicious activity are stopped before reaching your systems.
-
Actionable security insights: Detailed reporting gives you the intelligence needed to make informed security decisions.
-
24/7 expert support: Expert guidance is available whenever you need it, handling complex situations so your team can focus on priorities.
-
Rapid incident containment: Threats are stopped quickly, limiting damage to keep your operations running.
-
Scalable protection: Coverage adapts as your organization grows, without adding operational burden.
Expert protection without business disruption
IPS systems generate massive volumes of alerts. With expert tuning, you avoid false positives as experts identify which threats are real and which are merely noise. This puts your team's focus where it belongs, on your business goals.
With Managed IPS, you receive continuous refinement for detection rules from our in-house experts. Beyond tuning, those same analysts monitor your network around the clock, responding immediately when real threats emerge. You get security that works without slowing your business down.

IPS FAQs
What is Managed IPS?
