ISS' Preemptive Protection

 

Multi-faceted Protection
Proventia's multi-faceted protection engine combines multiple analysis and detection methodologies for optimum accuracy. A 2005 Information Security Magazine review rated Proventia Network IPS first place in attack detection and blocking.

  • Automatic Security Content Updates
    Updated security content can be automatically activated and applied to Proventia Network IPS. Security content with a recommended action "set to block" is certified to be free of false positives.
  • Virtual Patch Technology
    ISS' Virtual Patch technology allows you to regain control over ad-hoc and emergency patching by shielding vulnerabilities at the network level.
  • Spyware Installation Blocking
    Proventia automatically blocks spyware applications at the network level, preventing installation and download to clients.
  • Spyware Communicaion Blocking
    For clients already infected with spyware applications, Proventia prevents spyware intelligence reporting by automatically blocking active spyware application communication.
  • VoIP Security
    Proventia parses and analyzes the family of VoIP protocols to identify anomalous traffic. This unique type of analysis allows Proventia to block threats targeting your VoIP services.
  • Quarantine Capabilities
    Proventia enables an immediate and reliable quarantine of traffic from infected hosts and network segments, while allowing legitimate traffic to pass unhindered.
  • Corporate Network Access Control
    The Proventia Network IPS is part of the Proventia Access Control solution to assure that computer systems connecting to the corporate network through a Virtual Private Network, wireless access point, or from another network segment are protected by up-to-date desktop security agents.

Proventia Network IPS Lineup

  • Line-speed Performance
    Deployed in-line and operating at line speeds of up to 2 Gigabits per second, Proventia maintains network performance without requiring network reconfiguration.
  • In-line Simulation Mode
    Proventia is the only intrusion prevention system available with an inline simulation mode, giving you the ability to determine blocking behavior before activating blocking.
  • Active/Active Stateful High Availability (HA)
    In addition to redundant internal components, multiple Proventia appliances deployed in an active/active HA configuration provide the highest redundancy possible while maintaining full session state between devices.
  • Flexible Deployment Options
    Proventia can be deployed at the gateway/perimeter as well as within the core of your high-speed networking infrastructure to secure network assets.
  • Operating Modes
    Proventia is capable of operating in three modes:
    • Prevention: inline, active blocking
    • Simulation: inline, no blocking
    • Monitoring: passive, no blocking

Management Features

  • Flexible Policy Management
    Proventia supports diverse usage scenarios, allowing policy control at the device, port, VLAN and IP address levels.
  • Web-based Local Management
    Proventia's web-based local management interface (LMI) simplifies device management and monitoring.
  • Front Panel Management
    Proventia's LCD controller on the front of the unit simplifies initial device configuration and allows convenient restart and shutdown options.
  • SNMP Management
    Proventia integrates with 3rd-party network management products to provide key operational status indicators to network operations and security operations groups.
  • Centralized Management System Integration
    Proventia can be centrally managed using the SiteProtector security management system. SiteProtector is a scalable system that allows your staff to control, monitor and analyze events efficiently.
