Newbie question about IPS
Hi Bozzie-UK67,
Our attack surface reduction rules are the foundation of our host intrusion and prevention system (HIPS).
This blog may provide more insight: What’s new in Windows Defender ATP | Microsoft Security Blog as well as our public documentation: Migrating from a third-party HIPS to ASR rules | Microsoft Docs. This reference is specifically for prerequisites and troubleshooting ASR rules: Troubleshoot problems with Network protection | Microsoft Docs
To answer your last question about running on on-prem with no internet access, most ASR rules require Cloud protection to be enabled.Please let me know if this helps answer your question.

HIJayronn
Thanks for coming back to me. I saw the write up's and the cloud based solution parts but surely I thought or assumed that there may be a solution available that is standalone with no internet access. Obviously i was wrong.
As this would be for a secure standalone network this solution is not an option so will have to stick with McAfee.
Alas not everything can have access to the internet.
Thanks again for your reply.
