Desktop Protection

Proventia Desktop is a single agent that combines a personal firewall, intrusion prevention, buffer overflow exploit prevention, application protection and virus prevention. It helps to ensure that desktops are protected and adhere to corporate standards.
Proventia Desktop stops Internet threats from advancing beyond the network onto the desktop.
Proventia Desktop prevents the installation of spyware by analysing network downloads and blocks existing spyware from running by stopping unauthorised application communication outside the desktop.
Proventia Desktop's built-in intrusion prevention technology provides out-of-the-box protection against threats like worms, viruses and hacker attacks. More than 160 built-in rules are included.
Proventia Desktop monitors all inbound traffic and blocks attacks through intelligent analysis of trusted applications. Good traffic is allowed while malicious or suspicious traffic is not.
Proventia Desktop's Buffer Overflow Exploitation Prevention (BOEP), also known as memory protection, protects hosts from buffer overflow attacks against known and unknown memory buffer vulnerabilities.
The Proventia Desktop Access Control platform ensures that computer systems connecting to the corporate network through a Virtual Private Network, wireless access point or from another network segment, are protected by an up-to-date ISS desktop agent.
Proventia Desktop reduces and eliminates a desktop's visibility to network attackers through a simple and configurable firewall.
Proventia Desktop can be configured to automatically enable additional security features based on location. For example, attempts to use a laptop in an unknown network, such as a wireless connection in an airport, activate additional security features to protect the laptop and your network from malicious traffic.
Proventia Desktop protects desktops from exploits at the application level.
Virus Prevention System
Proventia Desktop's Virus Prevention System (VPS) uses a patent-pending behavioural analysis method to stop known and new viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware. Complementary to traditional, signature-based antivirus technology, VPS identifies viral and unhealthy application behaviour to detect and block malicious code without time-sensitive signature updates.
Application Protection
Proventia Desktop's advanced application protection capabilities allow administrators to build customised lists of authorised and unauthorised applications, ensuring that your desktop environment stays protected from unauthorised use and access.
Antivirus Awareness
Proventia Desktop ensures that clients have updated antivirus software.
Virtual Patch Protection
Internet Security Systems (ISS)' virtual patch protection automatically updates and applies security policies to newly discovered vulnerabilities that could affect your desktop systems. This technology allows you to protect your desktops before an attack is 'in the wild,' avoiding emergency patch rollouts so you can apply updates when your organisation is ready.
Manage Proventia Desktop agents with the SiteProtector management system for enterprise-level centralised desktop protection.
Centralised Management System
SiteProtector centralised security management system allows you to control, monitor and analyse events with minimum staff and operational costs. SiteProtector scales easily from small organisations to large global enterprises, allowing administrators to control 100,000 Proventia Desktop agents from a single console.
Advanced Event Correlation and Analysis
The SiteProtector Security Fusion module instantly correlates security data from multiple sources to determine whether incidents are attacks or false positives.
Automatic Updates
Automatic security updates to Proventia Desktop are delivered through the X-Press Update package which eliminates both manual updates and downtime. X-Press Updates are developed by ISS' X-Force, the most respected security research group in the industry.
Easy Integration
Proventia Desktop fits seamlessly within the existing corporate infrastructure and supports Active Directory, most e-mail and Web clients, as well as popular antivirus and VPN software.
Flexible Deployment
Proventia Desktop offers flexible configuration options for deployment, response and notification. Administrators can choose how much control to allow individual users, specify port and IP restrictions, and even how to report important security events.
