The LoadMaster is an established, hardened Internet appliance with HTTP intrusion prevention. In addition to Secure Socket Layer (SSL), Denial of Service support offered by the LoadMaster, the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) service will provide in-line protection of Real Server(s) by providing real-time mitigation of attacks and isolation of Real Server(s). Intrusion prevention is based on the industry-standard SNORT database and provides real-time intrusion alerting.

Note: The LoadMaster supports SNORT rules version 2.9 and below.

IPS is available for HTTP, offloaded HTTPS, and re-encrypted HTTPS Virtual Services.
