What is the difference between "IPS Signatures" and "Application Control" since both of them are in layer 7 and using same signature.

 

Thanks...

    IPS  matches on pre-canned or custom signature and typically push to match the client/server direction and OS types  ( windows unix etc...). It can also mitigate at all layers of the OSI from  layer3 and upwards.

     

    APP_CONTROL matches on behavior based on the application usage & mitigates or control from  the application layer. It uses application logic and awareness for control 

     

    The IPS wil make a bigger impact on thru-put  in a full blown deployment
