Researchers at Carnegie Mellon’s CyLab have devised what they say is the world’s fastest open source intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS) The system uses 38 times less power than a CPU-only IDS/IPS, the researchers say. The FPGA can inspect 95% of data traffic on a network on its own for signs of malware and malicious activity. Pigasus is designed to demonstrate a more cost-effective approach to inspecting Internet traffic for malicious activity than current approaches.”]
