In today’s hyperconnected world, enterprises face a constantly evolving landscape of network security challenges. Cyber threats such as malware, ransomware, and advanced persistent threats (APTs) are more sophisticated than ever, targeting critical infrastructure and sensitive data. Compounding the problem is the growing complexity of enterprise networks, driven by remote work, cloud adoption, and shadow IT. To combat these threats, an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a vital tool in an organization’s security arsenal. By detecting and preventing malicious activities in real time, an IPS enhances network protection, reduces the risk of breaches, and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, all while maintaining seamless business operations
Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service delivers an all-in-one solution that seamlessly integrates networking and security, enabling enterprises to modernize their infrastructure with ease. With Aryaka, businesses can configure, manage, and monitor their network, security, applications, and users through a unified management console, eliminating the inefficiencies of relying on disjointed single-point solutions. At the core of Aryaka’s platform is its innovative single-pass architecture, which performs comprehensive inspections and processing on each data packet in a single operation. This approach not only reduces the attack surface but also minimizes latency, ensuring optimal network performance.
To address today’s complex network security challenges, Aryaka’s Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) provides proactive threat detection and prevention as part of the Unified SASE framework. This integrated IPS solution safeguards enterprise networks against advanced cyber threats while maintaining consistent and reliable performance, making it an essential component for any modern security strategy.
Aryaka IPS service leverages advanced security engines to analyze inbound traffic on the WAN interface and outbound traffic on the LAN interface. It continuously monitors both encrypted and unencrypted traffic for malicious intrusion attempts, using a signature-based detection system that intercepts user data and enforces various IPS policies. This ensures comprehensive protection for both branch and remote users, guarding against potential intrusions across 53 categories, including Trojans, worms, shellcode exploits, adware, and more.
Transitioning from a third-party IPS to Aryaka’s integrated IPS within the Aryaka Unified SASE as a Service platform offers numerous benefits. Unlike standalone IPS solutions that demand complicated setups and multiple management tools, Aryaka’s IPS is seamlessly embedded into a unified, single-vendor architecture. This built-in integration ensures consistent threat detection and prevention, simplifies management through a centralized console, and enhances efficiency by eliminating redundant processing. With Aryaka IPS, organizations achieve advanced protection against evolving cyber threats, streamline their security processes, and close gaps created by fragmented solutions—all while maintaining exceptional network performance.
| Features | Description |
| Aryaka Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) | |
|---|---|
| Signature-based Detection | Continuously inspects WAN and LAN interfaces encrypted and unencrypted traffic for malicious intrusion activities using signature-based detection. Potential threats are blocked before they can harm digital assets. |
| Packet Anomaly Detection | Identifies protocol deviations from expected standards based on signatures, then alerts system administrators to perform remediation. |
| Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) Protection | Reduces an enterprise’s attack surface by mitigating known vulnerabilities and exploits. |
| Command & Control (Botnet) Protection | Detects and blocks communication with C2 servers and botnet activities to protect internal assets. |
| DoS and DDoS Protection | Uses signature-based detection and rate-limiting mechanisms to prevent downtime by protecting enterprise network assets from DoS and DDoS attacks. |
IPS as a part of Aryaka Unified SASE has two types of licenses to meet different deployment needs: site licenses and user licenses. Site licenses are used to enable IPS services at a specific location. User licenses are used to enable IPS services for remote users.
