NAI purchased Entercept about 9 months ago. Entercept was the Host-based intrusion prevention system Cisco used to OEM before NAI bought Entercept, and they then purchased Okena. This is their current intrusion prevention system. Been testing out Cisco Security Agent (Okena) stuff recently, and it seems to work fairly well. Hopefully the McAfee Intusion Prevention stuff will be available for testing and deploying soon. Supposedly you will be able to manage from their ePo console. >>> Crispin Cowan <crispin@private> 10/21/2003 1:35:14 PM >>> Jimmy, is this the emerging NAI intrusion prevention product you alluded to earlier? http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,,1356764,00.asp It looks like a nice product. But then again, I'm an advocate of host intrusion prevention. However, this approach (containment-based intrusion prevention on the desktop) has been tried before: Aladdin eSafe was a product back in 1998 that did containment of applications on the desktop. Aladdin seems to have quietly faded that product away, and then effectively made it hard to search for by naming a completely different product "eSafe" :) Crispin -- Crispin Cowan, Ph.D. http://immunix.com/~crispin/ Chief Scientist, Immunix http://immunix.com http://www.immunix.com/shop/
