Understanding IDP/IPS to Detect and Prevent Attacks in Network Traffic
Intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) detect and prevent attacks in network traffic. As of Junos OS Release 12.1X47-D20, you can purchase an IDP/IPS license for Firefly Perimeter. Juniper Networks provides predefined application signatures that detect TCP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) applications running on nonstandard ports.
Identifying these applications allows both IDP and IPS to apply appropriate attack objects to applications running on nonstandard ports. It also improves performance by narrowing the scope of attack signatures for applications without decoders.
