AINOPOL Campus Network Security Solution Based on IPS-Integrated Defense-in-Depth System

With the in-depth advancement of campus informatization construction, networks have become an indispensable support for teaching, scientific research and management. However, while enjoying the convenience of the internet, malicious attacks such as Trojans, worms and viruses may infiltrate the campus intranet from the external network at any time, leading to severe consequences including sensitive data leakage and system paralysis. Traditional firewalls can only implement traffic filtering at Layers 2 to 4, and fail to conduct in-depth identification and control of application-layer content.

In response to this, AINOPOL has launched a comprehensive security solution integrated with an IPS Intrusion Prevention System for the campus network environment, enabling in-depth detection and real-time defense of network traffic and empowering campuses to build a secure, reliable and efficient digital ecosystem.

Challenges Faced by Campus Network Security

Campus networks feature a large user scale, a variety of terminal types and complex internet access behaviors, and are often confronted with the following threats when connected to the internet:

Malware Infiltration: Teachers and students may inadvertently download files containing Trojans and worms when accessing the external network, resulting in intranet infection;

Data Leakage Risks: Sensitive information such as research data, students' personal information and administrative archives may be stolen;

Internal Threats: Internal users may also become sources of attacks, and traditional security devices are ineffective in preventing lateral intranet attacks;

Compliance and Management Pressures: The education industry has increasingly stringent requirements for network security classified protection, mandating in-depth traffic auditing and protection capabilities.

Core of AINOPOL’s Solution: IPS Intrusion Prevention System

AINOPOL deeply integrates the IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) into campus gateway devices. Without the need for additional dedicated hardware deployment, it provides Layer 7 application-level security protection and enables precise identification and real-time interception of network behaviors.

Core Technical Advantages

In-Depth Content Identification & Real-Time Defense

Based on a signature library of over 5,000 entries, the IPS conducts real-time traffic detection, accurately identifies malicious behaviors such as Trojans, worms, viruses and vulnerability attacks, and immediately blocks them to prevent the activation of such attacks.

Full-Traffic Protection for Both Internal and External Networks

The system not only defends against external attacks, but also detects and blocks abnormal behaviors initiated internally, achieving the integration of perimeter protection and intranet control.

Flexible Deployment & Low-Cost O&M

By integrating IPS functions into multi-dimensional gateways, schools do not need to purchase independent IPS devices, significantly reducing investment and O&M costs. It supports local and online signature library upgrades to ensure the continuous update of protection capabilities.

Distinctive Features of AINOPOL’s Campus IPS Solution

Real-Time Intrusion Interception: Achieves millisecond-level response and interception of network attacks such as Trojans, worms and viruses, fending off threats before they infiltrate the network.

Integrated Gateway Integration: Eliminates the need for independent devices and embeds advanced security capabilities into network perimeter gateways, significantly reducing deployment complexity and total cost of ownership (TCO).

Continuous Signature Library Updates: Supports automatic online upgrades to continuously cover the latest threat signatures and respond to the ever-evolving network attack methods.

Campus Compliance Support: Fully meets the relevant requirements of Network Security Classified Protection 2.0 and provides detailed audit reports to help schools pass compliance inspections.

Why Choose AINOPOL?

AINOPOL’s solution boasts unique advantages in the industry. We are the first to deeply integrate IPS functions into router devices, realizing the convergence of network and security capabilities. Relying on over 5,000 carefully maintained IPS signature rules, our system can accurately cover attack types common in the education industry. We provide an intuitive visual management and control interface that supports flexible policy configuration, centralized log auditing and global threat visibility, greatly simplifying O&M management. This solution is not only applicable to campus internet egress gateways, but also can be flexibly deployed at key nodes such as data centers, core office areas and dormitory networks, building a unified and three-dimensional security protection system for the entire campus.

AINOPOL’s campus network security solution based on IPS effectively responds to advanced threats such as Trojans and worms from the internet through three core capabilities: in-depth traffic detection, real-time attack interception, and integrated internal and external protection, safeguarding campus network and data security. While meeting the requirements of classified protection, it achieves cost control and simple O&M, making it a reliable choice for building a smart campus security system.
