Product Information
McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention for Server proactively secures against known and new zero-day attacks. It boosts security and lowers costs by reducing the frequency and urgency of patching. Host Intrusion Prevention integrates with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) platform for centralized reporting and management that’s accurate, scalable, easy to use, and works with other McAfee and non-McAfee security products.
Comprehensive security — Host Intrusion Prevention for Server uses multiple proven methods, including behavioral and signature analysis, plus a dynamic stateful firewall buttressed with global reputation technology to block emerging attacks.
Advanced vulnerability-shielding capabilities — Better protection against exploits that target new vulnerabilities means your IT staff has more time for planning, testing, and deploying patches.
Customized server protection – Host Intrusion Prevention for Server helps maintain server uptime with specialized protection for web and database servers.
Enhanced security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence — McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) is a comprehensive cloud-based threat intelligence service. Already integrated into McAfee security products, it works in real time, 24 hours a day, to protect customers against cyberthreats across all vectors — file, web, message, and network. McAfee GTI offers the broadest threat data, most robust data correlation, and most complete product integration in the industry. McAfee’s GTI network allows enabled products to evaluate threats on multiple vectors in real time, leading to faster identification of threats and higher capture rates. Host Intrusion Prevention for Server uses the McAfee GTI file reputation service and network connection reputation service to find suspicious files before they are identified as carrying malicious payloads, as well as domains/IP addresses that are infected or hosting malware attacks, and block those attacks.
Industry-leading, proactive protection against zero-day threats for desktops and laptops
Your systems and applications are under constant attack by worms, adware, spyware and viruses. Host intrusion prevention systems monitor and block such unwanted activity. McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention protects your assets with multiple proven methods, including a system firewall and both signature and behavioral analysis.
Standalone products have cumbersome nonintegrated management platforms that prevent many companies from deploying the comprehensive protection they need against today's blended threats. McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention integrates into your existing McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator management platform, for accurate, scalable, and easy-to-use advanced system protection.
With automatic signature updates and zero-day protection, you get the advanced vulnerability-shielding capabilities you need. Patching systems is something you will do less often and less urgently, and you will find it easier to comply with legal regulations. With a single agent for host intrusion prevention and desktop firewall, McAfee Host IPS is easy to deploy, easy to configure, and easy to manage.
