Improving Security ROI Via an Integrated Application Security Solution

Overview Application Intelligence is a software-based technology that is aware of the protocol in use by an application and is fully aware of the actual and potential limitations of the protocol such that it can identify characteristics exhibited by an exploit. So if exploiting a perceived vulnerability requires coming through a certain firewall port and contains a payload larger than a certain size, the software can be tuned to look for traffic meeting those criteria. If such traffic is found, it can be dropped.

The exploit poses only a moderate risk because it requires a user to log on for Windows XP, and in the case of Windows 2000, the attacker would have to get remote access to the Remote Procedure Code (RPC) port.
