Description
Local access to the private network can easily be accomplished by merely connecting a workstation or laptop to any available wall plate or a wireless connection to a nearby access point. Remote access to the network can be accomplished via connection to a VPN gateway. Eliminating unauthorized access to the network is vital to maintaining a secured network. If the package is malformed or has an anomaly, it may cause an alert or a message to the firewall or router, however the IPS does not directly disable the unauthorized access.
