IBM Internet Security Systems' Proventia is a powerful intrusion protection system for networks, servers and desktops. A range of appliances make it easy to implement.
Monitoring and Blocking
Proventia provides unobtrusive, continuous surveillance, building on established RealSecure technology. It intercepts and responds to security breaches and network abuse before systems are compromised.

Part of an integrated security management platform, it provides effective intrusion protection via diversified sensors and control consoles.

Proventia easily adapts to any network environment, with integrated network and host based intrusion protection encompassing a variety of sensor options and a scalable, centralised management console. In addition, it enables enhanced security management without significantly affecting the performance of critical networks or systems. Proventia network sensors are completely unobtrusive, monitoring network traffic by copying packets off the wire. Proventia server sensors also minimise their footprint by monitoring CPU and memory utilisation with internal limiters.

Appliances
As the intrusion protection market has matured, customers have started to reject the original approach of installing relatively complex software on to separately sourced UNIX or Windows systems.

They want a sensor supplied as a ready-to-go appliance that can be put in the rack with a minimum of effort, and the Proventia series of appliances from IBM Internet Security Systems is just that.

The G Series is an in-line device that provides intrusion prevention, by automatically blocking malicious attacks while the M Series is an all-in-one device that integrates the firewall and the intrusion prevention system.

All Proventia devices can be managed by SiteProtector in the same way as existing RealSecure sensors.

IDsec and Proventia
IDsec is an IBM Reseller and was previously a Gold Solutions Partner of Internet Security Systems. Since 1997 we have supplied and installed RealSecure and Proventia components for a range of companies, including banks, insurance companies and mobile phone operators.

In most cases we have been involved with the deployment project right through to the end: not just the mechanics of installing sensors and consoles, but working with the customer to make sure that the configuration is tuned to meet their requirements.
