Syspeace Server IPS protects our customers’ servers from hacking attempts by monitoring the pattern of failed login attempts.
Once it can discern the actual brute force attack from a legitimate user mistake, Syspeace blocks the attacking IP address.

Since 2012, Syspeace has protected servers against more than 119 million hacking attempts in more than 65 different countries. The information about these intruders that Syspeace Server IPS gives us is tallied and lets us provide the Syspeace Realtime Global Blocklist to protect against the worst offenders.
