New Appliance From ISS

The new Proventia G Series is an intrusion-prevention appliance designed to monitor traffic and automatically block attacks without blocking legitimate traffic, said Tim McCormick, vice president of marketing product strategy for the Atlanta-based company.

The Proventia G Series blocks attacks such as trojans, worms and denial-of-service attacks and has built-in intelligence that identifies vulnerabilities on a network to block unknown attacks as well.

"What our technology does is focus on the root cause of the vulnerability and not the worm or hacker attack itself that is targeting that vulnerability," McCormick said. "By focusing on and identifying the root cause of a vulnerability on a network and understanding the cause of it, our technology can automatically block anything that might be trying to exploit that vulnerability."

The true value-add for partners is the ability to combine all of the Proventia Series under ISS's SiteProtector centralized management systems, said Chuck Cinco, director of operations at Inter-Tel DataNet, a data integrator in Chandler, Ariz.

"As ISS has evolved beyond just intrusion detection with the Proventia Series, we are able to provide a suite of tools and products that allows companies to minimize the amount of overhead put on their support staff and create labor efficiency through centralized management," Cinco said. "The [SiteProtector] is the key."
