F5 BIG-IP AFM Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

Service provider and enterprise networks operate using a number of different protocols that enable connectivity to a large number of applications. Most of these networks operate on legacy protocols that have weak or non-existent built-in security, and which can be exploited by an attacker to impact services or steal information.
