Medium & Large Business

The threats facing your organization today are constantly evolving. To protect your network infrastructure against them, you need a new kind of solution. You need TELUS Managed IPS.

TELUS Managed IPS detects and blocks both known and unknown attacks. Centrally managed hardware sensors actively enforce default or custom policies, preventing malicious activity from compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the network. Unlike firewalls that operate at OSI Layers 3 and 4 (Network and Transport), IPS operates at layer 7 (Application). This allows it to perform functions that a traditional firewall cannot provide. It also uses many advanced and intelligent algorithms to differentiate between malicious and valid traffic, making it more proactive than both firewalls, which block on specific rule sets, and anti-virus solutions that use pattern matching to detect attacks.

In short, IPS is the next generation of Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Because attacks or intrusions are detected and blocked automatically, you or your IT staff don't need to devote time to analyzing logs and executing prevention or mitigation actions.

Round-the-clock monitoring

More than just the best technology, TELUS Managed IPS also offers the best customer service. It’s a fully managed solution that gives you the confidence of having your network security monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
