Marketing description

The Check Point IPS Software Blade provides complete, integrated, next generation firewall intrusion prevention capabilities at multi-gigabit speeds, resulting in industry-leading total system security and performance. The IPS Blade provides complete threat coverage for clients, servers, OS and other vulnerabilities, malware/worm infections, and more. The multi-tier threat detection engine combines signatures, protocol validation, anomaly detection, behavioral analysis, and other methods to provide the highest levels of network IPS protection. By quickly filtering 90% of incoming traffic without requiring deep inspection, the IPS engine inspects for attacks only on relevant sections of the traffic, thus reducing overhead and increasing accuracy.
Check Point's acclaimed management capabilities have been enhanced to support the dynamic management requirements of an IPS solution, allowing you to graphically monitor only what is important, easily isolate actionable information, and meet compliance and reporting requirements. Also, the entire Check Point IPS family - IPS Software Blade and standalone Check Point IPS-1 appliance - are managed from the same SmartDashboard IPS console, providing truly unified IPS management.
