Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) | Top Companies Providing Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Solutions

Define: Intrusion detection system?

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations. Any intrusion activity or violation is typically reported either to an administrator or collected centrally using a security information and event management (SIEM) system. A SIEM system combines outputs from multiple sources and uses alarm filtering techniques to distinguish malicious activity from false alarms.

GentleSecurity was founded to bridge strong computer security with usability. While working on various security products, they have realized the gap in the present state of computer security.

On one side, there are relatively easy-to-use approaches dealing with attack signature or behavior detection, which do not provide an assured level of security. On another side, more secure but over-complicated protection requiring strong passwords, firewall rules, access control lists etc.

The first, miss security threats, the second are too complicated to be usable. To bridge the gap GentleSecurity has invented GeSWall technology that prevents damage from targeted attacks and malicious software, non-intrusive, require no or minimal administration and scalable from individual windows computer up to entire enterprise network.

They provide solutions for both customers and enterprises. GeSWall is intrusion prevention system that is non-intrusive and easy to use.

With GeSWall, you can safely surf the web, use e-mail, chat, exchange files etc, regardless of the security threats posed by the Internet. GeSWall is a required supplementary to your anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall as it blocks unknown threats missed by those solutions.

Anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall are particularly good to find and remove known viruses, trojuns and spy-ware. However they fail in front of unknown mal-ware, targeted intrusions and zero-day attacks.
