NetMonastery employs unique attack detection and prevention technologies that are effective and efficient. Attack techniques used by NetMonastery are flexible and modular as can incorporate newer attack techniques. Two essential detection techniques are used by products from NetMonastery.

Signature Based Detection
The SiteVaxinPro 8000 Series of intrusion prevention systems use a large database of attack policies that are created by profiling attacks. These signatures are then used to scan traffic in real-time to detect and prevent ongoing attacks. Signature based attack detection is a very common technique used to detect known attacks.

Protocol Anomaly Based Detection
All SiteVaxinPro devices carry a protocol anomaly framework that use specific protocol anomaly plugins for data analysis. These plugins help the device understand the underlying application protocol. Any deviation to the protocol standard or implemented standard is considered to be an anomaly. The protocol anomaly plugins are extremely tuned to reduce false positives.
