Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Helios offers a complete suite of capabilities to help you protect your IT infrastructure against vulnerabilities and cyber threats. Using a risk-based approach to prioritize vulnerabilities, Helios makes it easier for security teams to focus on the most critical issues first. Leverage the Helios vulnerability detection capability to proactively identify and remedy vulnerabilities, therefore reducing the risk of successful cyberattacks. Helios provides organizations with the following comprehensive capabilities to identify vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.

Phishing and Malware Defense with Real-Time AI/ML Technology

Attackers frequently employ tactics like Domain Squatting and Domain Generation Algorithms (DGAs) to bypass reputation-based prevention tools. Helios’s IPS incorporates sophisticated AI/ML models into its real-time inspection engine to detect Domain Squatting and DGAs. Threats are identified using deep learning models and the correlation of data points such as domain popularity, age, letter patterns, and more. Brand impersonation is detected through analysis of webpage components such as favicon, images, and text.

Transitioning tools that were previously only available in post-mortem analysis to real-time prevention significantly enhances prevention efficacy and the overall security posture of the enterprise.

Blocking Ransomware Delivery, Command & Control, and Spread

A successful ransomware attack hinges on the delivery of the ransomware, command and control (C&C) communication with the attacker, and network-wide propagation for maximum impact.

Helios IPS offers complete visibility into both Internet and WAN traffic, thwarting malware delivery and C&C communication by intercepting malicious file downloads and blocking access to domains and IP addresses linked to ransomware and other malicious activities. It also prevents WAN propagation by identifying and halting lateral movement patterns and indicators.

The extensive visibility afforded by Helios IPS not only reduces the exposure to ransomware attacks but also significantly diminishes the potential impact of such attacks.

Swift and Effortless Neutralization of Evolving Threats

Enterprises frequently face challenges with the process, resources, and time required to protect their networks from emerging Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Helios IPS offers virtual patching to swiftly secure our customers’ networks when rapid mitigation is crucial. Helios’s dedicated team of experts build, test, and deploy new IPS rules in record time to quickly adapt to new CVEs without requiring any customer involvement. This “virtual patching” provides enterprises with the assurance that they are protected from high-risk emerging threats while they update and patch their impacted systems.

Cloud-Scale Traffic Analysis

Utilizing the capabilities of a cloud-native architecture, Helios provides an elastic and scalable IPS, enabling organizations to inspect all traffic, including TLS-encrypted traffic. Extensive cloud compute resources eliminate the necessity to fine-tune signature sets or restrict traffic sent to the IPS. All locations and users, encompassing cloud infrastructure, branch locations, and remote users, are safeguarded with Helios’s IPS, removing the need to scale and upgrade firewall/IPS appliances. With Helios, organizations can avoid having an IPS that only inspects partial traffic or uses a limited set of signatures due to resource constraints.

Geo-Fencing for Minimizing Attack Surface

One of the simplest ways to reduce your organization’s attack surface is by blocking countries that your organization has no business need to interact with. Helios’s IPS enables you to swiftly block traffic from specific geographies (inbound, outbound, or both) with a single global policy that applies to all users and locations.

AI-Driven Automated Threat Intelligence Management

Up-to-date threat intelligence is crucial for IPS effectiveness against malware, phishing, and command and control (C&C) sites while minimizing the impact of false positives. Helios IPS employs a specialized AI-based reputation system that independently gathers and evaluates information from over 250 threat intelligence feeds. This system consistently identifies and resolves overlaps between feeds, assesses the quality and relevance of threat records, and simulates potential impact on actual traffic. An updated and consolidated blacklist is automatically distributed to all Helios PoPs, ensuring current protection with near-zero false positives and no customer involvement.
