Managed IPS that blocks threats in real time

Inline packet inspection, signature and behavioral analytics, and 24/7 SOC tuning that stops exploits, worms, and zero-day attacks before they reach your network.

Intrusion Prevention Capabilities

Deep packet inspection and inline blocking, fully managed.

Continuously updated detections, inline prevention, and 24/7 analyst review, delivered as a fixed-cost service.

Real-Time Traffic Inspection

Continuous packet-level inspection of inbound and outbound traffic to detect exploits, worms, brute-force attempts, and abnormal patterns as they happen.

Signature & Behavioral Analysis

Detection engines combine continuously updated attack signatures with behavioral analytics so zero-day threats are blocked before a rule is even written.

Inline Prevention & Blocking

The IPS runs in-band and drops malicious packets in real time, stopping the attack before it reaches internal systems.

Real-Time Alerts & Context

Every blocked event is enriched with source, technique, and asset context, then routed to our SOC and your team for review.

Firewall & Network Integration

Sits alongside your next-generation firewall to provide the deep packet inspection layer it doesn't do. Also deployable internally for east-west visibility.

Continuous Threat Intelligence

Signatures and threat feeds update from multiple sources plus Clone Systems SOC observations, so detections stay ahead of new campaigns.

How Managed IPS Works

From edge appliance to blocked packet, in five steps.

A predictable model for inline prevention, wired into your existing network with the CloneGuard Network Security appliance.

01

Scope & Sizing

We size the CloneGuard Network Security appliance to your throughput and interfaces, then plan the inline insertion point between your edge router and firewall.

02

Deploy Inline

The appliance is installed in-band. Traffic starts flowing through the IPS while we baseline normal behavior in monitoring mode.

03

Tune & Enforce

Our SOC tunes signatures and behavioral rules to your environment, then enables inline prevention so malicious traffic is dropped in real time.

04

Detect & Block

The IPS inspects every packet against continuously updated threat intelligence and blocks exploits, worms, brute-force attempts, and zero-day behavior at the perimeter.

05

Monitor & Report

24/7 SOC review, escalations to your team, and customizable dashboards and reports for compliance and executive visibility.

Architecture

Inline at the edge. Every packet inspected.

The CloneGuard Network Security appliance is deployed in-band between your edge router and firewall. Traffic is inspected against continuously updated signatures and behavioral analytics, then either passed through or dropped in real time before it can reach your internal systems.

Inline packet inspection

Every north-south packet is parsed, matched, and either forwarded or dropped in real time.

Signature + behavioral analytics

Known-bad patterns and abnormal behavior are handled together, so zero-day exploits are covered too.

Optional internal sensor

Add an IPS or IDS internally to inspect east-west traffic and TLS-decrypted flows for lateral movement.

24/7 SOC tuning

Analysts continuously tune rules to keep false positives low and legitimate traffic flowing.

Why Managed IPS

Stop attacks at the perimeter, not after the fact.

Real-Time Network Protection

Malicious traffic is dropped inline, shrinking the window an attacker has to exploit a vulnerability on your network.

Fewer False Positives

Analyst-tuned signatures and behavioral rules cut noise so your team focuses on events that actually matter.

Proactive Threat Prevention

Known and zero-day attacks are blocked before they reach internal systems, not just logged after the fact.

Predictable Managed Service

Purchase the right-sized appliance through Clone Systems, then updates, tuning, and 24/7 SOC coverage are one predictable line item.

Better Network Visibility

Dashboards surface what was blocked, from where, and why, so policies and other controls can be tightened over time.

Live in Weeks, Not Months

Standardized deployment gets the appliance inline, baselined, and enforcing in weeks, not the months a self-run rollout takes.

Who Runs Behind Our IPS

Built for networks that need active protection, not just alerts.

Mid-Market Networks Without a Dedicated Network Security Team

Get enterprise-grade inline prevention and 24/7 tuning without hiring specialists to run it.

Payment & Financial Environments

Inline blocking and detailed evidence for PCI DSS-scoped networks, processors, and fintechs.

Healthcare & HIPAA-Regulated Businesses

Perimeter protection and reporting for organizations handling protected health information.

E-Commerce & Public-Facing Services

Blocks exploit attempts, credential stuffing, and worms targeting internet-exposed workloads.

New · AI Add-On

An AI assistant that explains every blocked packet, in plain English.

Add the Clone Systems AI assistant to your Intrusion Prevention service for faster triage of blocked events, plain-English explanations of the attack, and guided next steps, alongside our human analysts, not replacing them.

  • Blocked-event summarization. Every notable block arrives with a plain-English summary of the attack, source, and target so response starts immediately.
  • Signature vs behavior context. Explains whether a block matched a known signature, an anomaly, or both, and how confident the detection is.
  • Response guidance. Step-by-step containment for repeat offenders and lateral movement, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK.
  • Executive reporting. Draft weekly and monthly reports for leadership and auditors, editable before delivery.

What did the IPS block from 91.240.118.0/24 in the last hour?
1,284 packets dropped from that range in the past 60 minutes. The pattern matches CVE-2024-3400 exploit attempts against your public firewall management interface, plus SSH brute-force against a bastion host on 203.0.113.7.
Signature: ET EXPLOITMITRE: T1190 · T1110
Recommended Response
Push a 24-hour perimeter deny for 91.240.118.0/24, confirm the firewall management interface is not internet-exposed, and rotate the bastion host's SSH keys. Want me to open the incident and page the on-call analyst?
