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 as detailed below:

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

Policy Violations - Rules, protocols or packet design that is violated. Like an IP packet that is 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 traffic and the packet inspection needed to be carried out in a timely manner, and produce, accurate, high detection rate with 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.

Today's Next-Generation IPS systems are much more intelligent than what they used to be and have the ability to learn the network, learn about the assets within the network, make decisions based on the assets and integrate with user directory services 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.
