Untangle Intrusion Prevention

Most hackers are looking for computer networks that they can hijack and exploit. They cast wide nets using automated programs that sniff out exposed networks. This makes small businesses, with more limited IT budgets, particularly vulnerable.

Our Intrusion Prevention software intercepts attacks in their tracks. Working transparently on your network, this innovative application uses thousands of signatures to detect, block and log intrusion attempts, using industry-standard rules.

Plus, we simplify the process by setting reasonable defaults for you on thousands of signatures—or you can change defaults and add new rules based on your company’s specific needs.

Key Features:

• Thousands of signatures for a variety of attacks
• Carefully selected defaults continually tuned by Untangle Operations Center
• New attack signatures automatically downloaded to your server

Intrusion Prevention Technical Specifications

Intrusion Prevention is an ID (Intrusion Detection) system that intercepts all traffic and detects malicious activity on either the network or individual computers or both. To detect malicious activity, Intrusion Prevention uses signature detection, a method that draws upon a database of known attack patterns.

Intrusion Prevention's interception of malicious activity does not have any impact on system performance and is transparent to users, with the exception of the malicious user. If Intrusion Prevention detects malicious activity, Intrusion Prevention terminates the session for that activity.

Intrusion Prevention is pre-configured with default settings custom-tuned by Untangle. Therefore, Intrusion Prevention does not require much customization, though you can change these defaults or add your own rules.

Under The Hood:

Intrusion Prevention uses an open source tool, Snort , to identify these known patterns. The Snort community maintains information about known exploits, and produces lists of signatures from this information. The Untangle Server software keeps these signatures up-to-date.

What It Does:

Provides network intrusion detection and prevention

How It Does It:

Uses Snort signatures with a custom Untangle scanning engine, pre-tuned default settings and updates

Controls:

• Specific signatures can be set to be blocked and/or logged
• New signatures can be created using custom rules and variables
