The Norton IPS engine patches holes in these vulnerable systems by scanning network traffic for patterns that exploit vulnerabilities. One IPS signature for a particular vulnerability can protect against many variants of exploits and so they are very scalable in their defense. Vendors typically take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to release patches for new vulnerabilities in their products.

Major functions of intrusion prevention systems are to identify malicious activity, collect information about this activity, report it and attempt to block or stop it. What is IPS signature? How do intrusion prevention systems work?
