RealSecure Desktop Protector. (News and Products).RealSecure Desktop Protector (3.5) from ISS ISS See Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS). is a combination of intrusion protection and firewall technologies with a new security measure, Application Protection. The solution provides a scalable solution for businesses seeking to protect numerous remote end points that may access the corporate network from a broad array of gateway connections. Desktop Protector also analyses application and network (including VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. ) behaviour on desktops and provides real-time protection Real-time protection, on-access scanning, background guard, resident shield, autoprotect, and other synonyms refer to the automatic protection provided by most antivirus, antispyware, and other antimalware programs, which is arguably their most important against malicious activity. Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: Desktop Protector helps security staff focus on business initiatives rather than spending additional resources monitoring user traffic on each workstation Central Management and Ease of Deployment: Customers can centrally manage configuration and updating of all remote users with the RealSecure ICEcap Manager application, designed to offer consistent application of security policies across a network enterprise. Centralised Adj. 1. centralised - drawn toward a center or brought under the control of a central authority; "centralized control of emergency relief efforts"; "centralized government" centralized event reporting in RealSecure SiteProtector integrates events for management of the RealSecure protection platform Protocol Analysis Based Intrusion Detection See IDS and IPS. Desktop Protector fully decodes and structurally analyses entire network transmissions, catching fragmented attacks This technique is the most accurate and modern method of intrusion detection and is used to foil hacker evasion techniques, detecting some attacks before they become widely known. Protocol analysis can detect attacks in popular desktop applications for Instant Messenger AOL's instant messaging service. See AIM and instant messaging. , video conferencing See videoconferencing.

With Communications Control, the application can be allowed to run, but its communications are blocked or terminated when it tries to open a network connect Adaptive Protection Level Selection: Using this feature a user can have the agent adapt to the network environment by switching protection levels based on network traffic. This allows customers to direct the agent to switch into "Trusting" mode when it is communicating through the VPN, and then switchback switch·back n. 1.

Interoperability with VPN Solutions: To further protect the VPN user and corporate networks, Desktop Protector is tested for interoperability with best-of-breed VPN solutions to further protect against attacks. Optional Alerting: Audio and visual alerts let users know when an attack is taking place and what protective actions have been taken. Silent Installation Option: Silent installations include all the agent protection features yet do not include the local user interface. Evidence Logging and Back Tracing: Desktop Protector logs malicious packets and hacking attempts, as well as identifies hackers to determine the origin of the attack, especially if the attacker is inside organisation. www.iss.net |
