NETWORK INTRUSION PREVENTION

Network intrusion prevention is the practice of identifying and blocking malicious network traffic before it can reach its intended destination.  Reliable Business Solutions achieves this through the use of specialized network security hardware and software that monitors network traffic for suspicious patterns and behaviors. 


The basic principle behind network intrusion prevention is to identify and block unauthorized attempts to access a network or its resources.  This can include blocking incoming traffic from known malicious IP addresses or blocking specific types of network traffic that are associated with common attack methods, such as SQL injection or buffer overflow attacks. 


Some common techniques used in network intrusion prevention include: 

  • Signature-based detection:  This involves comparing network traffic to a database of known attack signatures in order to identify and block known threats. 


  • Behavior-based detection:  This involves analyzing network traffic for unusual patterns or behaviors that may indicate an attack is taking place. 

 

  • Anomaly detection:  This involves comparing network traffic to a baseline of "normal" traffic in order to identify deviations that may indicate an attack is taking place. 

 

  • Protocol analysis: This involves analyzing network traffic at the protocol level in order to detect and block malicious traffic that is designed to exploit vulnerabilities in specific network protocols. 

Overall, network intrusion prevention is a very important component to the Reliable Business Solutions comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, and can help businesses to protect their networks, and their data, from a wide range of cybersecurity threats.
