The potential exploitation of these servers could lead to consumers being lured with malicious web advertising. Covelli's initial solution, an IPS system, proved insufficient as there were numerous ways to bypass it. The company needed a more robust solution to block attacks from known malicious users, monitor web application traffic, block web page and malware injection, and prevent unauthorized access to specific web servers.
