McAfee Rolls Out Enterprise Intrusion Prevention Systems

Posted by Networking Pipeline Staff on January 24, 2005

McAfee has introduced new network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) products designed to protect large and mission-critical networks operating at multi-gigabit speeds against known, zero-day, encrypted and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

The McAfee IntruShield 4010 and McAfee IntruShield 3000 IPS sensors are targeted at large-scale enterprises and service providers who need highly scalable, multi-Gigabit security deployments. The products are designed for both network core and service provider cloud-based deployment. They include 12 Gigabit monitoring ports, performance up to 2 Gbps and support for High-Availability network deployments.

"With the continuing discovery and exploitation of new threats, the stakes are high for today's business security requirements. McAfee's IntruShield intrusion prevention appliances address multi-gigabit requirements for service providers, carriers and large-scale enterprises networks," Charles Kolodgy, research director at IDC said in a statement.

The McAfee IntruShield 4010 and McAfee IntruShield 3000 will be available in February from McAfee.
