HIPS proactively defends and controls access to a computer to prevent new threats that anti-virus alone cannot. HIPSl prevents computers from sending or receiving hostile threats from unauthorized network traffic or applications. It also prevents authorized applications from being manipulated in order to send or receive threats across the network. The same functionality, if incorrectly configured can deny users the ability to perform their work.

The real challenge that any company faces in deploying HIPS, is finding ways to deploy, configure and centrally manage, whilst retaining the ability to define and maintain custom policies. This stumbling block often results in companies failing to effective deploy HIPS.
