SBC unveils managed IDS/IPS service

Jim Duffy writes in NetworkWorld:

SBC Tuesday said it added an intrusion prevention service to its managed security services.

The SBC PremierSERV Managed Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) is intended to detect, contain or neutralize both known and unidentified threats from viruses and worms attacking servers, laptops, desktops or other endpoints. The service uses an appliance from Mirage Networks designed to monitor and defend a business network’s interior.

T
he Mirage device is installed on customer premise LANs. It monitors behavior of various computers and servers operating on the corporate network, as opposed to looking for known signatures of worms and viruses in a database.


This enables the service to identify malicious activity resulting from both known and unknown threats, SBC claims.
