Third Brigade Unveils Non-Intrusive IPS

Third Brigade recently released Deep Security 4, an advanced, non-intrusive software-based, intrusion prevention system (IPS). This product enables organizations to protect mission critical systems, sensitive data, and custom web applications from malicious attacks that exploit software vulnerabilities. Additionally, it has a host of other features which allow it to help protect and enhance revenue and service levels.

Intrusion prevention is an important layer of defense for security-conscious healthcare, government, financial services and other organizations. And, it is increasingly being recognized by manufacturers of telecommunications, medical and other network-connected systems as an integral security component. These systems are often considered high value, high risk, or hard to patch. Organizations that purchase Third Brigade Deep Security Manager can deploy Deep Security Agent software in IPS-ready mode, on as many hosts as they choose, at no extra cost. Then with one-click, the Agent can provide proactive prevention of the hosts. This vastly reduces the risk of deployment surprises, provides a more efficient, effective and intelligent roll-out, and helps ensure enterprises are ready before the next major vulnerability is announced or exploited. It also helps ensure that the security of systems, applications and data is not restricted by budget or resources.

`Traditionally, intrusion prevention systems have been very intrusive. They have large footprints, often require custom hardware, and consume considerable host and staff resources,` said Brian O`Higgins, Chief Technology Officer of Third Brigade. `In addition, it has historically taken significant time to test, deploy and fine-tune an IPS. Third Brigade Deep Security 4 and its unique IPS-ready approach fundamentally alter the deployment of IPS for an enterprise.`
