Best Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems for IBM Cloud

Organizations often adopt a variety of cyber security measures in their quest for enhanced protection, which can lead to a fragmented security framework that tends to incur a high total cost of ownership (TCO). By transitioning to a unified security strategy utilizing Check Point Infinity architecture, companies can secure proactive defenses against advanced fifth-generation threats, while simultaneously achieving a 50% boost in operational efficiency and slashing security expenses by 20%. This architecture represents the first integrated security solution that spans networks, cloud environments, mobile devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT), delivering top-tier threat prevention against both established and emerging cyber threats. Featuring 64 distinct threat prevention engines, it effectively combats known and unknown dangers, leveraging cutting-edge threat intelligence to enhance its protective capabilities. Infinity-Vision serves as the centralized management platform for Check Point Infinity, offering a cohesive approach to cyber security that is designed to thwart the most complex attacks across various domains, including networks and endpoints. The comprehensive nature of this solution ensures businesses can remain resilient in the face of evolving cyber threats while maintaining streamlined operations.

Organizations are increasingly confronted with a diverse range of attacks from threat actors motivated by factors such as financial gain, ideological beliefs, or dissatisfaction within their own ranks. The methods employed by these attackers are continuously advancing, rendering traditional Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) inadequate in safeguarding organizations effectively. To combat intrusions, malware, and command-and-control operations throughout their lifecycle, Threat Prevention enhances the security features of our next-generation firewalls, which defend the network from sophisticated threats by meticulously identifying and examining all traffic, applications, users, and content, across every port and protocol. Daily updates from threat intelligence are systematically gathered, sent to the next-generation firewall, and acted upon by Threat Prevention to neutralize all potential threats. By automatically blocking known malware, vulnerability exploits, and command-and-control activities, organizations can minimize resource expenditure, complexity, and latency while leveraging their existing hardware and security teams. With these robust measures in place, organizations can significantly bolster their defense against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.

Intrusion Prevention Systems play a crucial role in identifying and thwarting attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in systems or applications, ensuring that your organization remains safeguarded against emerging threats. With Check Point's IPS integrated into our Next Generation Firewall, updates occur automatically, ensuring protection against both long-standing and newly discovered vulnerabilities. This technology offers a vast array of signature and behavioral preemptive defenses, enhancing your security posture. Our advanced acceleration technologies enable you to activate IPS safely, while a minimal false positive rate allows your team to focus on critical tasks without unnecessary interruptions. By enabling IPS on any Check Point security gateway, you can effectively lower your overall ownership costs. In addition, our on-demand hyperscale threat prevention capabilities provide enterprises with the ability to expand and maintain resilience on-site. Furthermore, we ensure that users can access corporate networks and resources securely and seamlessly, whether they are traveling or working from home. This comprehensive approach not only fortifies your defenses but also enhances overall productivity and operational efficiency.
