Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The FireEye Network Threat Prevention Platform identifies and blocks zero-day Web exploits, droppers (binaries), and multi-protocol callbacks to help organizations scale their advanced threat defenses across a range of deployments, from the multi-gigabit headquarters down to remote, branch, and mobile offices. FireEye Network with Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) technology further optimizes spend, substantially reduces false positives, and enables compliance while driving security across known and unknown threats.
