Company Overview Product Review Spec Sheets

Once synonymous with Intrusion Detection Systems, Internet Security Systems (ISS), has staked its future on Intrusion Prevention. This change in market direction for Internet Security Systems (ISS) was necessitated due to the emerging threat of fast spreading automated worm attacks and malware. The Internet Security Systems (ISS) approach for Intrusion Prevention was to develop virtual patches in order to counter these automated attacks. Also known as vulnerability signatures, these address the underlying flaws instead of a specific exploit. Properly written vulnerability signature can prevent against both known exploits and unknown variations.

Internet Security Systems (ISS) Proventia line includes network, server and desktop options. The Proventia network appliances are situated inline and monitor network traffic to detect and deter attacks. Proventia server and Proventia desktop are IPS software that are placed on individual hosts to block network and application layer attacks. 

This proactive philosophy is embodied in the Proventia line of Integrated Security Appliances. The Proventia line consists of the Proventia A, Proventia G, and the Provertia M series appliances. The Proventia appliances are powered by Internet Security Systems (ISS) RealSecure software. The Proventia line defends against the following threats:
