Contents


Overview

The Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) monitors all the network activities on the system. This technology helps in detecting when a rootkit, keylogger, spyware or Trojan is installed on the system. HIPS technology not only warns the user about any intrusion, but, also blocks it.

HIPS technology uses both signature based detection as well as advanced heuristics antivirus algorithm. You can also set policies specifying the behavior of operating systems or applications. The attacks that HIPS protect against include viruses, spam, spyware, worms, Trojans, keyloggers, bots, rootkits, and Denial of Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
