I3COMPUTER 711 OPS

Your company is not alone if it is seeking Internet standards to facilitate communications, as well as to augment IT services and e-commerce applications. While e-business investments are critical to gain and maintain a competitive edge, expanded connectivity also increases corporate exposure to threats from unknown and trusted users who attempt to probe and potentially cripple or corrupt business-critical systems.

While firewalls and VPNs offer perimeter and access controls - internal, remote and even authenticated users can attempt probing, misuse or malicious acts. Internet access comprises 57% of attack entry, and a third of corporate intranets are penetrated by outsiders. A security strategy must provide countermeasures for the possibility of internal or external network attacks - attacks that attempt to exploit known vulnerabilities or circumvent corporate resource or application policies.

Symantec NetProwler 3.5 complements existing security countermeasures and fortifies any company's e-business initiatives by offering dynamic network intrusion detection that transparently examines network traffic. It instantly identifies, logs and terminates unauthorized use, misuse and abuse of computer systems by internal saboteurs and external hackers.

Symantec NetProwler 3.5's exclusive, patent-pending Stateful Dynamic Signature Inspection (SDSI) virtual processor not only prevents intruders from exploiting hundreds of known and new security flaws in real time, but its attack definition wizard enables network administrators to protect exposed corporate applications and stop even the most sophisticated assaults.
