Watchguard 1-year Intrusion Prevention Service for Firebox M200

Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) is a fully integrated security subscription. It works in tandem with the application layer content inspection of the XTM to provide real-time protection against network threats, including spyware, SQL injections, cross-site scripting, and buffer overflows. IPS scans traffic on all major protocols, using continually updated signatures to detect and block all types of threats. And because IPS is integrated with WatchGuard XTM security appliances, you have an easy-to-manage, cost-effective solution without additional hardware to purchase and maintain.


Exploits happen in near real time. That is why WatchGuard’s IPS has been designed to instantly and proactively identify and defend against suspicious network traffic using high-performance, deep-packet inspection across all ports and protocols. IPS provides around-the-clock defense against malicious activity that is designed to compromise and damage your organization. If an IP address is identified as the source of an attack, it can be automatically blocked to prevent further threats from attempting to enter your network.


To make sure you are staying ahead of the evolving threat landscape, IPS constantly looks for new signatures every hour and applies automatic updates to the signature database, protecting your network from the latest threats while avoiding labor-intensive upkeep. Each signature update is also made without interruption to the security service – so you never leave your network exposed.
