Business Editors & High Tech Writers

RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 26, 2002

Intrusion delivers comprehensive intrusion detection with leading

network and new host based systems that together provide a full set

of visibility and control for enterprise security.

Further providing product flexibility to fit the demands for enterprise network security, Intrusion Inc. (NASDAQ:INTZ), a leading provider of enterprise security solutions for the information-driven economy, today announced availability of the Intrusion SecureHost Series of host-based intrusion detection products. The Intrusion SecureIDS master brand now includes both the SecureHost, host-based and the SecureNet, network-based intrusion detection products, providing customers with comprehensive coverage for intrusion detection needs.

Leading features of the SecureHost Series include industry leading intrusion prevention technology that includes and extends beyond the features of traditional HIDS and file integrity checkers. SecureHost is a "zero update" intrusion detection system that achieves its remarkably low total cost of ownership by taking a policy-based approach to host intrusion detection instead of a signature based approach which is known for higher management and monitoring costs. Additionally, by focusing on prevention rather than simply detection, Intrusion SecureHost compliments the high level of network visibility provided by the Intrusion SecureNet Series network intrusion detection system by providing strong control over how a host may be used - barring unauthorized and malicious usage, and aiding in policy compliance among authorized users.

"With our new Intrusion SecureHost Series host IDS alongside our already prominent SecureNet network IDS, Intrusion lives up to our name in providing a very robust approach to intrusion detection," said Ryon Packer, vice president of product management, business development and marketing for Intrusion Inc. "We now provide our customers and partners a complete intrusion detection system covering all eight major components of IDS, from protocol analysis and stateful inspection of network traffic to desktop or deployed firewalls and more traditional forms of host IDS - Intrusion Inc. now provides coverage with a single application to monitor and report on events."

The Intrusion SecureHost Series events will integrate into the powerful Intrusion SecureNet Provider monitoring and reporting system. SecureNet Provider, originally release in June of 2001, is a Windows 2000 based, 3-tier architecture for data mining intrusion detection data. The SecureNet Provider Manager is a Windows 2000 Server with a Microsoft SQL 2000 database to provide nearly unlimited scalability and industry support. The SecureNet Provider Client gives the user an innovative, customizable tree view of their intrusion detection universe that allows one-click access to myriad cross-indexes. Combining the SecureNet and SecureHost data in a single viewer provides a superior view of the enterprise network and the threat being posed to the enterprise network.

The Intrusion SecureHost Series, which is powered by OKENA StormWatch consists of a web-based Intrusion SecureHost Console, Intrusion SecureHost Agent for Servers, Intrusion SecureHost Agent for Desktops, and the innovative automated tuning tool Intrusion SecureHost Profiler. Agents and their policies are managed by the Console, which logs events received from the agents. SecureHost defends desktops and servers from attack by deploying intelligent agents that intercept an application's resource requests to the operating system. Agents make real-time allow/deny decisions based on the customer's application security policy.

Availability

Intrusion SecureHost Series products, powered by OKENA StormWatch are available to order now. The Intrusion SecureHost Console is priced at $4,995 US SRP, while agents for Servers and agents for Desktops are priced at $1,795 US SRP and $80 US SRP respectively. Intrusion SecureHost Profiler is priced at $24,995 US SRP for an enterprise license.
