Paper Title
Design and Implementation of Ips Using Utm

Abstract
The Design and Implementation of Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) play a critical role in safeguarding computer networks from malicious activities. Unlike traditional Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), IPS offers advanced capabilities such as real-time threat identification, alarm triggering, event notifications, and prompt response mechanisms. Despite these advantages, IPS faces several challenges, including the accuracy of intrusion signatures, efficient management of high traffic volumes, optimization of network topology for effective deployment, secure infrastructure management, and seamless integration with Unified Threat Management (UTM) frameworks. This paper explores these critical challenges and proposes innovative solutions to enhance IPS reliability and effectiveness. Key areas of focus include monitoring, secure logging, and management, ensuring a robust defense in modern cyber security landscapes. The outcomes aimto optimize IPS deployment and operations, reinforcing its role in proactive network protection.
