IPS Tab

The Wireless Router supports advanced Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), which is an integral
part of the self-defending strategy—It allows you to stay current on the latest threats so that
malicious or damaging traffic is accurately identified, classified, and stopped in realtime. You
can use IPS together with Firewall, IP based ACL, and IPsec VPN to achieve maximum securities.
The IPS is hardware-accelerated on this Wireless Router.
