StoneGate Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)

StoneGate IPS Features

StoneGate Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) has been designed to protect your internal IT network from being accessed by Spyware, Worms, Trojans and Peer-to-Peer programs that slow down network performance and which have direct impact to business operations. Your business information is valuable for only a short moment in time. If the information is not available when it is needed as required by your personnel, trading partners and customers, your performance and business productivity is seriously affected which increases business risk. StoneGate IPS detects and stops network traffic abuse and reduces business risk.

Protects vulnerable applications and operating systems

Business-critical applications and mission-critical servers need to be operational 24 hours a day. If there is a security vulnerability in the application or in the operating system, it has to be remedied as soon as possible. Business-critical applications cannot afford to be maintained in peak times because their unavailability means lost revenue. Normally business-critical applications have scheduled maintenance time-scales every month, but when a security issue occurs, it has to be rectified immediately before a hacker or cyber criminal can exploit it. StoneGate IPS is the solution to protect the application because it will stop all exploits that are trying to use the vulnerability in business-critical applications or servers.

Stops worms, P2P and spyware

StoneGate IPS removes worms, spyware, and peer-to-peer traffic in the corporate network and by so doing increases the network bandwidth available from your business operations.

Ensures regulatory compliance

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is one example of regulatory actions where organisations (in this case Visa and Master Card) try to reduce the risk associated with their main business. The PCI standard requires that all merchants that store, process, or transmit cardholder data should use Intrusion Prevention Systems. StoneGate IPS fulfils the standard's requirements and allows merchants to run their business in a safe a secure environment.

Accelerates incident handling

StoneGate IPS stops attacks before they damage the target server, therefore eliminating incident costs and providing a large variety of information about attempted attacks. The Incident Management feature incorporated in the software can be used to collect all the activity centrally and can generate internet abuse reports to notify System Administrators of the number of attacks that are being attempted, therefore providing critical information in advance of a possible DDOS attack.

Stops attacks against web applications

Enterprises strive to offer flexible and easy-to-use services for their customers, partners and employees. In many cases this means that customers have a web interface to critical core-business services. Although web access is a very convenient way for customers to access services it also presents a new risk to the core-business. StoneGate IPS will prevent attacks against these services and reveal the activity in the DMZ area and reducing the risks.
