Seres Avoids Traffic Disturbance From MyDoom Worm Thanks to Proventia Intrusion Prevention Appliances

Overview Based in Saint-Ouen and Marseille, SERES specializes in electronic business-to-business exchange. Initially, SERES was using Internet Security Systems (ISS)' RealSecure Network on Nokia IP330, which was mainly serving as an intrusion detection agent. However, the passive nature of intrusion detection technology was not enough for SERES, who wanted to enhance the level of protection on its multiple DMZ servers and adopt real-time inline protection. SERES placed its Proventia intrusion prevention appliance in front of the firewall and the Internet, which is justified since some of the users who seek information on SERES' Web site are not always identifiable.
