Why Your Standard Intrusion Prevention System Is Vulnerable
Recent DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks have shown how vulnerable online businesses continue to be today. Generated by 'Botnets', DDoS attacks either flood victim sites with high packet-per-second (PPS) traffic, or trick the application services into generating high volume invalid transactions. The result is service slowdown at best to complete shutdown in a worst case scenario.
Your Standard IPS Has Been Rendered Obsolete by Hackers
Unfortunately, the standard IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is ill equipped to deal with these types of attacks. It removes low volume intrusion attacks by implementing signature matching or 'deep packet inspection'. However, this technique cannot prevent high packet-per-second (PPS) DDoS attacks or service misuse attacks. Since attempting to use signature detection technology results in immediate blocking of legitimate users, IPS vendors tend to rely on other network components to prevent DDoS attacks, such as router firewalls, ISP anti-DoS service and the like...
