Intrusion Defense Technology

Intrusion Defense Overview

Despite nearly universal efforts to protect corporate networks, today's distributed organizations are still susceptible to a multitude of attacks. IT executives are challenged to extend security beyond the corporate backbone to protect a variety of potential vulnerabilities, including Internet connections, communication channels between remote and corporate offices and links between trusted business partners. Unfortunately, many preventive measures employed to secure corporate resources and internal traffic don't provide the breadth or depth of analysis needed to identify and respond to attempted attacks or uncover potential threats across the organization. Deploying firewalls or virtual private networks, for example, can minimize exposure, but they simply don't provide enough protection.
Intrusion defense solutions provide an additional layer of vital security. The right defense system can detect suspicious activity, stop the intrusion and assess the damage--and even provide information to prosecute the perpetrator, if needed.

Why Dragon Intrusion Detection Systems?

Enterasys Dragon meets the challenge of securing a modern network by providing high-speed sensors to detect and respond to suspicious activity, forensic data to determine the impact of network attacks, and the scalability to deploy and manage large numbers of sensors without negatively impacting the operation of your network.
With the combined power of its Network Sensor, Host Sensor and Enterprise Management Server, Dragon provides an integrated solution for detecting and stopping misuse and attacks across the entire IT infrastructure. It's the only IDS to combine events on the network with those on the hosts, firewalls, routers, switches, other IDS's and applications, providing complete detection for the small and large environment. With comprehensive analysis and real-time monitoring capabilities, Dragon delivers a higher level of defense to the business-critical IT infrastructure.
