IPS-1

Robust and accurate intrusion prevention

Power-1

Overview

Check Point IPS-1 is a dedicated intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS) that helps organizations secure their enterprise network, and protect servers and critical data against known and unknown worms, automated malware, and blended threats.

  • Robust security: protect your network and business against increasingly sophisticated attacks and attack vectors

  • Efficient management and compliance: overcome data overload, focus on what’s critical, and track compliance issues

  • Flexible deployment: flexibility to meet ever-changing security needs

 

Features

IPS-1 provides the strong, robust, and dynamic security for which Check Point is known. In addition, IPS-1 features superior management tools that increase administrator efficiency and provide unique rapid-response mitigation. The highly intuitive IPS-1 centralized interface provides graphical management tools that allow a system administrator to quickly identify and act on threats to the network. IPS-1 management and enforcement are unified with the Check Point security architecture, so administrators can implement IPS defenses seamlessly across an entire network security infrastructure. Also, because of this unification, the familiar, intuitive Check Point interface helps reduce IPS-1 training costs and increase administrator effectiveness.

IPS-1 solutions are available as turnkey Check Point appliances and software-only versions that can run on open servers. Real-time security updates and advisories are provided by SmartDefense Services, which are supported by Check Point Research Centers around the globe.
