Is your network security limited to defending against yesterday’s threats? IBM Security Network Protection delivers the next-generation security, visibility and control needed to help you with zero-day threat protection.

1. Is your network security limited to
defending against yesterday’s threats?
Can your network security:
Stop zero-day
attacks and
mutated threats?
Control access to
and within the
network?
Protect against
risky apps—
file-sharing, social
media, remote
access?
Block phishing,
malicious
attachments and
malware?
Analyze over 450 protocols and file formats
Inspect all network traffic—including encrypted–regardless of address, port or protocol
Leverage a threat database of over 25 billion URLs
Block known bad actors using IP reputation data that is constantly
updated by our global web crawler
Control over 2,000 applications and actions
Reduce potential attack vectors with network access policies for both applications and users
IBM protects against tomorrow’s threats today.
IBM Security Network Protection moves beyond pattern matching and applies
behavior-based protection to combat advanced and unknown threats.
Tests conducted by NSS Labs1
and Tolly Group2
show that IBM provides:
exploit block rate for combined
attacker and target initiated attacks
98.9%100%
block rate for mutated threats,
versus only 52% for Snort
service exposure
block rate
100%
What’s our secret? Experience and expertise.
• 20+ years of security research and
development
• 3,000+ IBM Security patents
• 15 billion security incidents monitored
and analyzed per day
It isn’t by accident that we’ve protected against a lot of vulnerabilities before they
were disclosed. In some cases, up to 7 years ahead of the threat. It’s what we do —
provide you protection against new threats your organization hasn’t seen before.
How? Our next-generation intrusion prevention system (IPS) is powered by IBM
X-Force®
, one of the world’s most respected security
research and development organizations.
All that brain power leads to comprehensive
and actionable threat intelligence.
Superior network security that doesn’t break the bank.
Innovation isn’t limited to technology. How you invest in network security is just as important.
IBM is the only next-generation IPS vendor with flexible performance licensing, so you:
Don’t overbuy—pay only for the
performance level you need today
Don’t rip-and-replace—upgrade
performance in the future with a
flexible software license
Don’t get fenced in—network
interfaces can be swapped out as
your network requirements change
Take a smarter approach to network security.
IBM Security Network Protection delivers the next-generation security, visibility and control
needed to help you with zero-day threat protection.
