managed security | IPS

It has become increasingly clear that the most serious threats are spawned right in your own network. An IPS is designed to detect and stop threats but it is critical to place the IPS strategically within your architecture to provide the optimum protection.

Traditionally, IPS appliances have been placed underneath the Internet gateway to protect internal networks against traffic traversing the firewall.  This works well for traffic traveling through the firewall into the internal network but what about traffic going into the DMZ (demilitarized zone), coming from a WAN connection or from an end user device?  The key to a strong IPS solution is to cover multiple network segments, especially those that are high threat or business critical.  NCI specializes in architecting comprehensive IPS solutions that are designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your data.
