Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) &
Application Patrol
Security Service
Today’s networks are under attack from an ever-expanding array of threats
- viruses, malware, and other exploits. Hackers are increasingly adept at
avoiding detection, and unlike with automated threats like viruses, the
goal of these intrusions is often the theft of specific personal or financial
information. For this reason, users need more reliable safeguards to protect
private data.
Zyxel Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDP) provides a high-performance
deep packet inspection engine to examine all incoming and outgoing traffic including SSL traffic - for protocol deviations, content that signals an attack,
or policy violations. Zyxel IDP can operate in detection and prevention modes
to defend operating systems and shield enterprise application vulnerabilities.
Zyxel IDP protects web applications from application-layer attacks including
SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Detailed events provide valuable
information, including who attacked, when the attack occurred, and what the
attacker attempted to exploit. Administrators can be automatically notified
via alerts when an incident occurs.
Managing employees who waste too much time on non-work related
applications can be a major challenge for businesses. Administrators face
losing not only productivity, but network bandwidth to unrestricted Internet
use. Zyxel Application Patrol - leverage Deep Packet Inspection module
- controls employee network use and covers 19 categories of application,
allowing businesses customize management protocols based on specific
applications and behaviors.

IDP Benefits
Threat prevention with SSL inspection
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption has seen extensive worldwide
proliferation, with many popular Web and cloud-based services like Dropbox
and Gmail offering users the ability to have their entire sessions encrypted.
Unfortunately, attackers are also turning to encryption to evade detection,
increasing the prevalence of malicious activity. Enterprises now face the
challenge of how to inspect incoming and outgoing traffic for threats under
SSL encryption.

SSL inspection is the key to protecting your network from
these threats. Zyxel IDP service supports SSL inspection,
helping to scan the content at a URL accessed over SSL
to apply policies and detect malware and viruses at the
URL level. This action blocks threats that are hidden in
SSL encrypted connections and facilitates deeper policy
enforcement.
Continuous defense for superior protection
Zyxel IDP service provides weekly signature refreshment
to all the subscribed appliances. Signatures are updated
without interruption as new threats emerge, so you
never have to leave your network exposed. Capability
with imported customized signature is also provided for
networks with specific defense needs.
Full coverage of network threats
Zyxel IDP service supports layer 7 context-aware threat
analysis, as well as behavior analysis, for detection of
encrypted threats and applications to protect against
both client-side and server-side vulnerabilities. The IDP
signature can identify a wide variety of malware threats
and attacks such as Trojans, backdoor applications,
and DoS attacks, as well as other security hazards. We
provide full protection, whether facing anomaly-based or
vulnerability-based threats.
