An embedded version of the Proventia Server IPS is installed and configured on
the SiteProtector SP1001 appliance hardware and is delivered with a security policy
that is predefined for the SiteProtector SP1001 appliance’s operating system and
configuration.

Purpose of Proventia Server IPS

Proventia Server IPS is a comprehensive security application that protects the
SiteProtector SP1001 appliance and your network from the following:

v

theft of corporate information, passwords, and other sensitive information

v

attempts to use the SiteProtector SP1001 appliance to attack other systems

Proventia Server IPS features

The following table describes the Proventia Server IPS features that are enabled on
the SiteProtector SP1001 appliance:

Feature

Description

Intrusion prevention

Proventia Server IPS includes an intrusion
prevention system that alerts you to attacks
and blocks threats to the SiteProtector
SP1001 appliance and to your network.
Proventia Server IPS captures information
about an intruder and logs suspicious
activity, which preserves evidence of the
attack.

Firewall

Proventia Server IPS provides powerful
firewall capabilities that inspect all inbound
and outbound traffic on the computer for
unauthorized activity. Proventia Server IPS
can control network communication based
on port, IP address, and protocol. Proventia
Server IPS blocks unauthorized activity
without affecting normal traffic.

Buffer overflow exploit prevention

Proventia Server IPS can prevent exploits
based on buffer overflows. Some intruders
attempt to send more data to the buffer than
it can handle. This can enable intruders to
effectively take control of the computer.
