14 DAY TRIAL // McAfee has updated its line of network intrusion prevention system (IPS) products with two new IntruShield hardware appliances for large enterprises and Internet service providers (ISPs).
The McAfee IntruShield 4010 and McAfee IntruShield 3000 are specially built IPS appliances designed to process high volumes of traffic at multi-gigabits-per-second speeds, spotting malicious code and spyware and thwarting denial of service (DOS) attacks, McAfee said in a statement.
The new hardware builds on the upper end of the IntruShield product line, offering 12 Gigabit ports for monitoring network traffic and 2Gbit/s of traffic throughput, compared with four Gigabit Ethernet monitoring ports on the IntruShield 4000, an enterprise IPS appliance that was previously at the high end of the IntruShield product line, McAfee said.
With the new IntruShield anti-spyware capability, McAfee continues to anticipate and address customer needs by becoming the industry's first security vendor to offer a proactive, multi-layered system and network protection strategy to address the growing concern of spyware in both consumer and corporate environments.
In addition to McAfee IntruShield's network IPS coverage, McAfee spyware protection spans multiple product lines including McAfee Anti-Spyware Enterprise Edition Module, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, McAfee Secure Content management solutions and McAfee Foundstone technologies.
By offering the most comprehensive suite of system and network defenses, McAfee allows customers to deploy multiple, critical layers of protection to safely block and eliminate an array of potentially unwanted programs, including spyware, adware, dialers, keyloggers, password crackers and remote-control programs.
