IBM Internet Security Systems Extends Industry-Leading Preemptive Protection to Remote Segments of t
IBM announced it will extend its Internet Security Systems (ISS) intrusion prevention technology to remote segments of the network by adding a new, lower-cost product to the IBM Proventia® Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) family. Through the addition of Proventia Network IPS GX3002, IBM will offer comprehensive, ahead-of-the-threat protection for a new layer of the enterprise network.
“IBM ISS understands that scalability is a key ingredient for offering customers a comprehensive set of options for their enterprise security needs,” said Rob Ayoub, Industry Manager, Network Security with Frost & Sullivan. “The addition of a lower-cost intrusion prevention appliance to the company’s product line extends its powerful, preemptive protection capabilities to a broader set of companies, and enables larger companies to cost-effectively shield additional segments of the network from attack.”
Until now, companies needing to protect these points have only had limited-feature IPS offerings available to them. “Long gone are the days when a firewall and antivirus solution were enough to protect a corporate network,” said Greg Adams, Business Line Executive, Network Solutions for IBM Internet Security Systems.
