Award-winning, next-generation intrusion prevention solution delivering best-in-class proactive
prevention of zero-day and DoS attacks, spyware, malware, botnets, and VoIP threats
No business is immune to security threats, no matter
how large or small. The risks to small and medium-
sized businesses (SMBs) and other organizations
continue to grow as the rising number of new
vulnerabilities and the speed and sophistication of
attacks that exploit those vulnerabilities pose an
ever-increasing threat to your business. The rise and
evolution of new hybrid attacks that use multiple
techniques to attack your network infrastructure
means that enterprises of all sizes must constantly
defend themselves against these shifting threats.
Traditional, reactive security technology alone cannot ensure
network availability, integrity, and data confidentiality. Due
to the inadequate ability of traditional technology to provide
proactive threat detection and prevention, businesses remain
vulnerable to sophisticated and highly targeted zero-day and
Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, as well as spyware, malware,
and Voice over IP (VoIP) threats. Small businesses need to
defend their critical network infrastructure by deploying
advanced, proactive protection against vulnerability-based
threats and attacks. Furthermore, companies of every size
are under intense regulatory and audit pressure to ensure the
privacy of confidential data and decrease business risk.
For comprehensive, proactive network protection against a
broad range of today's threats and attacks, SMBs and other
organizations need to deploy next-generation intrusion
prevention. The proven and award-winning McAfee
IntruShield network intrusion prevention system (IPS)
®
delivers the most comprehensive, accurate, and scalable
threat protection. IntruShield helps SMBs assure the
availability and security of critical network infrastructure
through proactive and comprehensive threat prevention.
