	IPS Signatures ── Strengthening perimeter defense
	With an automatically updated signature database, Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) continuously inspects network traffic. This assists in blocking ransomware, malware, and exploit attempts in real time, proactively defending against threats before they can take effect.
	Think of it like… Running a virus scan on a PC and seeing the reassuring message: “No threats found.” IPS acts as a gatekeeper at the network layer, instantly stopping malicious traffic to continuously safeguard your network security.

From passive to active defense

QNAP QHora router’s IPS is powered by a signature-based detection engine that goes beyond simply blocking threats — it ensures accuracy, responsiveness, and compliance.

Aspect	Importance	Practical Explanation
Threat detection	Capture known attacks	Signature-based detection blocks SQL injection, malicious files, and vulnerability exploits with precision.
Real-time updates	Defend against emerging threats	Continuously updated signatures minimize exposure windows and enable rapid response to new CVEs and attack methods.
Reduced false positives	Improve usability	Accurate signatures reduce false positives/negatives, avoiding disruption to legitimate traffic and operations.
Compliance & audit	Support regulations	Helps meet PCI-DSS and ISO 27001 requirements with audit-ready logs.
