Protecting Internal
Networks
Enterprises today strive to offer flexible and easy-to-use Web services for their
customers, partners and employees. At the same time, however, hackers and intruders have become
more and more educated. This creates new security risks.
Abusers, intruders and even malicious insiders have the possibility to exploit the network in
a new way.
Traditional firewall, antivirus and even intrusion detection systems (IDS) are no longer
powerful enough to protect these opened business-critical services completely.
“One of the best practices we’ve implemented is
the installation of the StoneGate IPS. Immediately we’ve been able to detect and stop network
traffic abuse and reduce the risks to our operation’s data. I have the assurance that our internal
systems are protected.”

StoneGate Intrusion Prevention System
StoneGate IPS is a modular yet powerful tool to
secure your internal networks.
With StoneGate IPS, you can efficiently detect, identify and stop network traffic abuse.
With the additional Transparent Access Control module, you can easily and efficiently add
segmentation to your networks, thus considerably reducing the risk of far-reaching infections.
Effective segmentation, detection and co-operation with the StoneGate Firewall solution
enable responding to attacks as they occur, thus reducing business risks.
Furthermore, with StoneGate Intrusion Prevention the System Operator can easily produce
accurate traffic log information as well as reports about the network usage.
In many industries, this information is required by the controlling authorities, for instance
the Payment Card Industry Security Standard Council, and the system is required to provide detailed
traffic logs and reports.

Since we were working with a prominent credit card services organization, we knew
hackers were scanning our system, but the minute we turned on Stonesoft’s solution it was like
turning on a light switch.
Immediately we had analysis and reports that provided clear details of who and what was
trying to access our network, which enabled us to diffuse potential threats ahead of time.”
