IDS and IPS are intelligence modules (either hardware, software or virtual instances) that are often incorporated into firewalls, although they can be standalone appliances communicating with a firewall.
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a device or application that analyses whole packets, both header and payload, looking for known events. When a known event is detected a log message is generated detailing the event.
An Intrusion Prevention System is a device or application that analyses whole packets, both header and payload, looking for known events. When a known event is detected the packet is rejected.

‘We are really happy with the Juniper Mist solution provided by IP Performance and in fact when you look at the number of daily connections I would say it’s exceeded our expectations, for example in our Coatbridge campus the feedback from all staff and students for a number of years has been really negative regarding the Wifi but right now we currently have 600 users connected. The ability to look at the monitor and see what the trends are in terms of time-to-connect and successful connections also gives us the ability to see a problem before it impacts on a number of users. Therefore this reduces the amount of Wifi issues that are submitted to our helpdesk, so this again shows that the solution works.’
