Description
IBM Security Server Protection includes an intrusion
prevention system that alerts you to attacks and blocks
threats to the SiteProtector SP3001 appliance and to your
network. IBM Security Server Protection captures
information about an intruder and logs suspicious
activity, which preserves evidence of the attack.
IBM Security Server Protection:
v provides powerful firewall capabilities that inspect all
inbound and outbound traffic on the computer for
unauthorized activity

address, and protocol

enable intruders to effectively take control of the
computer.
