Check Point IPS is an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Whereas the Security Gateway firewall lets you block traffic based on source, destination and port information, IPS adds another line of defense by analyzing traffic contents to check if it is a risk to your network. IPS protects both clients and servers, and lets you control the network usage of certain applications. The new, hybrid IPS detection engine provides multiple defense layers which allows it excellent detection and prevention capabilities of known threats, and in many cases future attacks as well. It also allows unparalleled deployment and configuration flexibility and excellent performance | Check Point IPS R75 Administration Guide 15 December 2010 a Check Point I SOFTWARE TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
