Passive Configuration |

Placing a computer inline is not always desirable because of reliability/latency concerns. MetaFlows’ proprietary Soft IPS technology reliably blocks unwanted traffic in passive mode as well. MetaFlows does this by injecting spoofed TCP packets into the network to disrupt unwanted communications. This idea (also employed by the Great Firewall of China) is not new but it has been refined to the point that makes a passive Soft IPS configuration as effective as an inline deployment without its potential drawbacks. |
