ISS unveils new IPS appliances

摘要

Internet Security Systems this week is expected to take the wraps off two intrusion-prevention systems — the Proventia G400 and G2000 — designed to block spy-ware and hundreds of types of attacks. With the G2000, which reaches 2G bit/sec, ISS enters the high-speed IPS market to compete against vendors offering multi-gigabit IPS, including McAfee and 3Com'sTippingPoint Technologies division. ISS also is upgrading its entire G line, which starts with the 100M bit/sec G100, to provide gateway-based blocking of roughly 7,000 types of spyware and adware, and a range of improved management features. First off, ISS is adding the ability to exert policy-based protections based on IP address range or virtual LAN (VLAN) segment.
