        Advanced IP Defense, powered by Precision AI® and cloud-scale intelligence, provides a proactive, inline guardrail that extends threat prevention to the network layer. By denying access based on where attackers operate across the internet, Advanced IP Defense blocks adversary infrastructure before scans, exploits, or malicious activities can execute—stopping novel, evasive threats while eliminating the heavy operational burden of legacy blocklists.

        Advanced IP Defense in Action

        Advanced IP Defense protects enterprise network connections through three core pillars:

        • Real-time infrastructure blocking: Evaluates every IP address inline against live global threat intelligence to block connection attempts to active attacker infrastructure before a payload can be delivered.
        • Zero trust guardrails against evasion: Validates every outbound IP session to identify direct-to-IP evasion even if they’re inside public clouds or CDNs.
        • Contextual attack surface reduction: Provides granular context to enable security teams to set risk-based policies, block malicious connections, minimize exposure, and reduce SOC alert fatigue.
