Most intrusion
prevention system use signature based detection as their primary
detection technique. Detecting newer or undocumented attacks
become near to impossible for these devices.
A detection system
must have a attack documenting signature in order to detect an
instance of the attack. This problem is solved with two unique
techniques that are deployed by SiteVaxinPro.
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.

Payload Vectoring Detection
Attacks on undocumented vulnerabilities are the most difficult
to detect and mitigate. However it is seen that most attacks
result in control of the target being passed over to attacker.
This is done by executing the attackers code also called the
payload on the target machine. Special techniques are used to
document all the different kinds of payloads that may be used by
an attacker.
