Ensuring uninterrupted security with high-availability configurations, GDS' Network Intrusion Prevention System is supported 24x7x365 by experienced security professionals on leading vendor platforms. The result is unparalleled security that allows clients to maintain focus on their core business.

GDS' Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) offers event monitoring and configuration management.  GDS IPS monitoring tracks security events in real-time as traffic flows through the IPS. Traffic inspection includes all seven layers of the IP stack, going well beyond the port/protocol rules of a firewall.

GDS' Intrusion Prevention Services protect against worms, viruses, spyware and other threats, and is a flexible solution that proactively prevents enterprise and application attacks while maintaining peak network performance. Not every potential threat is indeed a threat to be blocked, and ongoing IPS tuning assures that alerts are generated for suspicious events while well qualified attacks are readily blocked.

GDS works with clients to define IPS policies that are aligned with their corporate security policy. Our Management Services include patching and updates to maintain all managed devices on a secure operating system. We work with our vendors to determine how to mitigate potential threats. If a configuration change, patch or update is required, GDS provides notification and schedules its application.

GDS also offers unique Intrusion Prevention Services through equipment in Network Operations Center.   These unique services block malicious traffic long before it has the chance to access a client's local network. It offers strong protection with significantly less cost or complexity than dedicated security services. Device configuration definitions and hardware sizing considerations are unnecessary as GDS enables and refreshes the solution as needed throughout the life of the service.

Virus outbreaks continue to occur within corporate networks. Even though there have been numerous advancements in security technology, the attack plane continues to increase with user mobility. Managed GDS IPS immediately proves its value when a single outbreak is successfully quarantined. A properly deployed GDS IPS limits the remediation to a very few PC's, rather than an entire network. These very tangible costs can be clearly quantified to justify the use and further expansion of IPS services.
