Feature Overview
This section provides a brief description of each of the Advanced Network Protection features
available on the AR-Series UTM firewalls.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

perimeter of a network and effectively protects the network security. It can monitor, analyze and
log suspicious network activity and proactively prevent malicious threats.


IP Reputation
An IP address may have a good or bad reputation. An IP address earns a bad reputation when
suspicious activity, such as spam or viruses originating from that address is detected. AlliedWare
Plus IP Reputation provides an extensive library of IP addresses of negative reputation, with each
IP address being scored, categorized by type of activity. Stream-based AlliedWare Plus IP
Reputation can effectively identify and block malicious threats from entering the network. With
AlliedWare Plus IP Reputation, users can decide with confidence which IP addresses are safe to
allow access into the network.

Malware Protection

malware and blocks the traffic once a threat has been detected.
