Symantec Intruder Alert version 3.6 is
a host-based, real-time intrusion monitoring system that detects
unauthorized activity and security breaches and responds automatically.
If Intruder Alert detects a threat, it sounds an alarm or takes other
countermeasures according to pre-established security policies in order
to prevent information loss or theft. From a central console,
administrators can create, update, and deploy policies and securely
collect and archive audit logs for incident analysis, all while
maintaining the availability and integrity of systems. As a complement
to firewalls and other access controls, Intruder Alert enables the
development of precautionary security policies that prevent expert
hackers or authorized users with malicious intent from misusing systems,
applications, and data.
Intruder Alert provides complete control over systems with policy-based
management that determines which systems and activities to monitor and
what actions to take, as well as with real-time intrusion detection
reports for both host and network components. Administrative wizards
perform many routine tasks and silent installation and remote tune-up
capabilities make it easy to deploy and maintain the system.
Intruder Alert includes specialized software agents that support server
platforms running Windows NT, most commercial versions of UNIX, and
Novell NetWare. Plus, it can be configured to monitor Web or database
applications running on servers. And with its integration modules, it
can also support the continuous, central monitoring of servers and
applications on popular management systems, including Tivoli Enterprise,
BMC Patrol, and HP OpenView.
