Security vendors expand intrusion systems

摘要

Although it's the heart of summer, security vendors don't seem to be going on vacation. Symantec, eEye Digital Security, NFR Security and Vernier Networks are rolling out new products designed to stop worms and other threats. Symantec next month is scheduled to release an intrusion-prevention system (IPS) appliance line aimed at competing with equipment from the likes of Internet Security Systems (ISS), McAfee and TippingPoint Technologies. The three models in Symantec's Network Security 7100 Series will block a range of attacks, including worms, but can also operate in passive mode as intrusion-detection systems (IDS), Symantec says.
