CHARACTERISTICS
The standout feature of Weilong Intrusion Detection and Prevention System compared to other similar products is its ability to confuse hackers.
For example, when a thief wants to break into a room, they usually enter through doors or windows. But if the thief cannot find or see any doors or windows, even though they actually exist, how can they break into the room?
Similarly, if hackers cannot find or see any points of intrusion, even though they actually exist, how can they invade your computer or network?
This is a design concept that strikes at the source, and has been proven to be feasible, reliable, and practical. It is highly effective in preventing hacker intrusions.
