Kerio Personal Firewall is able to detect and block many known network intrusion types. For this purpose it uses its internal intrusion database. The database can be automatically updated every time a new version of the firewall is installed (therefore, we recommend you to perform update of Kerio Personal Firewall anytime it is alerted).

The Kerio Personal Firewall contains the Network Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (NIPS) which is compatible with Snort, the open-source IDS (http://www.snort.org/).

Note: Rules for NIPS are stored in the config\IDSRules subdirectory of the installation directory
