Network Security Platform Sensor NS-7100, NS-7200 and NS-7300

Certificate

Module description

Network Security Platform products (formerly known as IntruShield) are Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) that protect network infrastructures and endpoints from intrusions such as zero-day, DoS, spyware, VoIP, botnet, malware, phishing, and encrypted attacks with highly accurate, enterprise-class risk-aware intrusion prevention. The Network Security Management system manages the sensor deployments and permits the customer to receive real-time network status updates and alerts, implement customized security policies and incident response plans, and perform forensic analysis of attacks.

Security level exceptions

• Design Assurance: Level 3
• Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
