Feature Overview Advanced Network Protection
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)
IPS is a stream-based intrusion detection and prevention system that is positioned at the
perimeter of a network and effectively protects the network security. It can monitor, analyze and
log suspicious network activity and proactively prevent malicious threats.
For more information about how it works, see "Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)" on page 10. To
configure this feature, see "Configuring Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)" on page 34.
Anti-virus
Proxy-based Anti-virus provides desktop level protection to prevent known threats from passing
through the network. These threats include but are not limited to: Viruses, Trojans, Worms,
Malware, Spyware, Rootkits, Keyloggers and Botnets.
For more information about how it works, see "Anti-virus" on page 13. To configure this feature,
see "Configuring Anti-virus" on page 35.
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.
For more information about how it works, see "IP Reputation" on page 14. To configure this
feature, see "Configuring IP Reputation" on page 36.
Malware Protection
Stream-based Malware Protection scans traffic as it traverses the device real-time for known
malware and blocks the traffic once a threat has been detected.
For more information about how it works, see "Malware Protection" on page 16. To configure this
feature, see "Configuring Malware Protection" on page 37.
Web Control
Proxy-based Web Control offers an easy way to monitor and control the types of websites viewed
by employees. It dynamically assigns URLs to categories, and applies policy to control access
to inappropriate categories of websites.
For more information about how it works, see "Web Control" on page 17. To configure this
feature, see "Configuring Web Control" on page 38.
