IPS systems detect, block and alert on attacks against un-patched systems and applications.

Most common attack types that IPS systems are used for are;

Reconnaissance - Gaining information about system or network such as using port scanners to see what ports are open.

Policy Violations - Rules, protocols or packet designs that are violated. Like IP packet that are incorrect in length.

Exploit - Attempts to exploit a vulnerability of a system, application or protocol. For example buffer overflow attacks.

DOS\DDOS - When an attack attempts to bring down a system by sending too many requests such as SYN flood attacks.

Two of the most important aspects within an IPS solution is speed and security. An IPS solution should be able to cope with incoming packet inspection in a timely manner, with high detection rate and produce minimal false positives.

This section provides a list of network IPS vendors. For host based IPS, see endpoint protection and home user All-In-One internet security suites.

This section does not include network firewalls with IPS capabilities, only dedicated point solutions. See firewall section for firewalls with built in IPS functionality.

Some vendors have enhanced their products into Next-Generation IPS systems which are much more intelligent and have the ability to learn your network, learn your assets, make decisions based on your assets and integrate with your user directory so that they are able to identify who was logged in to a system at the time an asset was being attacked or an asset was executing the attack.
