Key Features

LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) layers added security to thwart malicious attacks and rootkits. The solution uses application control that prevents applications from executing in malicious ways right on your individual host systems. Use LANDesk HIPS to extend the power of LANDesk^® Security Suite or LANDesk^® Patch Manager and LANDesk^® Antivirus, or use it with Symantec antivirus or McAfee Enterprise.

• Single-console control
• Protection against malicious behaviors—not just known files
• Application control
• Added protection

Single-Console Control

Take advantage of a single management console to install, configure and manage host-based intrusion prevention features for all enterprise systems. Quickly and easily perpetuate to host systems enterprisewide the learned behaviors blocked on an individual host.

Protection Against Malicious Behaviors

Thwart malicious attacks with application blocking that prevents applications from executing in malicious ways right on your individual host systems. LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention System enables your systems to recognize malicious writes and modifications to the registry to stop malware from running at reboot. And it allows IT to lock down the registry unless or until writes are approved by the IT administrator.

Application Control

In addition to application blocking in LANDesk^® Security Suite, use LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention System to make a whitelist of applications allowed to run on systems. Provide IT precise control over the applications that can run on enterprise systems and how those applications are allowed to execute. Prevent disguised, new and/or unknown malicious applications from slipping past your security defenses, and use flexible configurations to create and manage different whitelists for various users and groups.

Added Protection Against Rootkits and More

LANDesk^® Antivirus detects known rootkits in real-time. Add LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention System for even greater protection against stealth rootkits. Prevent stealth rootkits with control over whether or not applications can execute other applications on a host. And use kernel-level network filtering to define an application’s executable files and what is and isn’t acceptable network behavior.

Also use LANDesk HIPS to certify whether or not certain applications or files can bypass some or all of its built-in protections. And prevent non-certified processes from injecting into certified processes and obtaining authorization attributes illegally.

Enterprise Benefits

With LANDesk^® Host Intrusion Prevention System you experience:

• Added assurance that you’re equipped to prevent zero-day threats even before the fix is available.
• Reduced training and infrastructure costs plus better efficiency with a single-console solution for complete layered security.
• Precise control over what users can and can’t run on your enterprise systems.
