Prev Next

Contemporary hackers have more resources at their disposal, especially when backed up by rival corporations and nation states. Your security system must be very dynamic, intelligent, and proactive to help you meet evolving techniques and successfully defend your network every time. As a reactive strategy, it must be capable of blocking attacks and warn you of any strange activity in your network. For the proactive part, your security system must be capable of notifying the vulnerabilities in your network and also provide you the visibility of even the normal traffic on your network. A proactive security system enables you to be a step ahead of your challengers.

Trellix IPS is a network-based IPS that combines purpose-built network security devices and management software for the accurate detection and prevention of known attacks using signature detection and zero-day attacks using anomaly detection. It also provides you next-generation IPS features such as internal-firewall and QoS.

The add-on McAfee™ Network Threat Behavior Analysis appliance monitors and presents you a real-time view of your network traffic. Trellix IPS also collaborates with other Trellix products on your network to provide you complete network protection.
