HOW AN IPS WORKS

As we are talking about in this series of information security tools, taking care of data protection is an action that requires a series of steps, and that adds several resources together. We speak of IDS / IPS as an essential tool for the security of information, but we reinforce to you that, it should not operate alone.

Well, basically, it is necessary that other resources are present to ensure a safer business environment. Remember the example of the house? So, following this reasoning, it is not enough to simply have cameras on the door of the house and a 24-hour patrol, if there is no gate. If you want to ensure the security of your home, this is one of the first external items that you think about, isn't it?

This is exactly where the firewall comes in. The firewall offers features that limit access to the computer's doors and windows and thus prevents intruders from entering. In this way, only authorized users will be allowed to have some functionality on the computer network.

It prevents the entry and exit of confidential information, as it controls the transfer of data from the computer over the internet, preventing the sending of private files to the network.

In addition to this control and restriction, there are firewall models that have other information security features, which can be configured within it, in line with company policies.

This is the case of Admfirewall, which has IDS / IPS resources active in your operating system, just needing to be configured, adding, in a very effective way, the firewall and IDS / IPS functions, thus ensuring a much more secure network.
