Datasheet

Your servers—and the critical assets they contain—are under constant siege. Worms, spyware, viruses, vulnerabilities, and other threats can compromise your data and cripple your servers, with potentially devastating consequences for your business.

McAfee® Host Intrusion Prevention monitors and blocks such unwanted activity. Host Intrusion Prevention maintains server uptime and protects corporate assets like applications, customer information, and databases. It uses multiple proven methods, including a system firewall, signature analysis, and behavioral analysis.

With automatic signature updates and zero-day protection, you get advanced vulnerability-shielding capabilities. And patching systems is something you will do less often and less urgently. You’ll also find it easier to comply with legal regulations.

Standalone products have cumbersome, unintegrated management platforms, making it difficult to deploy the comprehensive protection you need against today's blended threats. Host Intrusion Prevention integrates into your existing McAfee® ePolicy Orchestrator® management platform, for accurate, scalable, and easy-to-use advanced server protection.

Benefits:

• An aggressive, comprehensive defense strategy for your servers
  Three layers of protection behavioral rules, signatures analysis, and firewall protection prevent intrusions, protect assets, and keep your servers up and running; it even defends your servers against unknown zero-day exploits



• Protect enterprise servers worldwide
  McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention is centrally managed and scalable, so that you can deploy it across your entire enterprise for complete global protection with multiple language support



• Stay ahead of threats with prioritized patch management
  Use the power of McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention against new vulnerabilities and exploits when they hit for more time to research, test, and deploy patches



• Lower your costs and simplify management
