Protecting Endpoint Systems Using Host-Based Intrusion Prevention

Tags:
security management

Overview Traditional anti-virus and anti-spyware tools are fundamental to enterprise threat defense. However, these tools have limitations because, before a threat can be identified and stopped, the threat must be identified as malicious and new signatures must be distributed to endpoint computers. Anti-virus and anti-spyware must, therefore, be used together with a Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS), in which behavior-based techniques are used to identify anomalous and potentially malicious behavior. These techniques enable HIPS to protect computers against threats even before new anti-virus and anti-spyware signatures are distributed.
