At RSA Conference 2007 in San Francisco, CA announced CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (CA HIPS), a new solution that combines advanced firewall, intrusion detection and intrusion prevention capabilities to defend enterprise computing assets against today’s blended threats. By providing centrally managed proactive threat protection for PCs and servers, CA HIPS enables IT organizations to quickly and efficiently implement best-practices security policies for system endpoints across the enterprise. CA HIPS provides proactive, host-based security to counter zero-day attacks by detecting anomalies in system behavior. Administrators can define rules for automatically responding to these anomalies — such as blocking suspicious application activity with the rest of the network until a potential threat can be evaluated fully.
