The Nortel TPS 3D Sensor 2x50 and Nortel TPS 3D Sensor 2x70 offer the
flexibility to modify existing rules, tune the rule set, and create custom rules. They
provide quick snapshots of exploits against a network and save detailed packet
information showing TCP/IP headers and payload. When specific attack data is
analyzed, the user is able to easily search the event and packet data in the
database.
3D Sensor 2x50 and 3D Sensor 2x70 deliver high-quality, real-time intrusion
detection as well as:
• comprehensive attack recognition
• rules written in the Snort rules language
• configurable rules and preprocessors
