A system, method and computer program product are provided. Initially, data is received from a remote source which is destined for a target. A portion of such data is discarded based on a predetermined set of rules utilizing a firewall. Further, the data is compared to a predetermined list of data associated with attacks utilizing an intrusion detection system. Based on the comparison, some of the data is marked as hostile. The data that is marked as hostile is then acted upon in order to prevent an attack.
