Managed Intrusion Protection

Identify internal and external attacks on your network before damage occurs with background monitoring of network and server traffic.
Telstra’s Managed Intrusion Protection Service (IPS) integrates with firewall security and extends your network protection by providing:

• Up-to-the-minute protection
• Supplements firewall protection by combating threats from inside the network
• Customised solution to suit your business needs

Telstra proactively monitors network activity and has the experience and resources to respond quickly and appropriately to any suspicious activity.

Protection from all angles
IPS may identify and prevent security threats hidden from the firewall – either from inside the network, or external attacks disguised as legitimate traffic. Intrusion detection sensors can be placed strategically on your network, allowing device monitoring at all times. Security violations or unauthorised activity automatically trigger an alarm for Telstra’s experts to take immediate action. Event reporting to your organisation is made through a convenient web-based interface.

Flexible service features
The customised features of IPS can be configured to stop attacks across your entire corporate network. Managed Intrusion Protection Service is available as either a network-based (NIPS) or host-based (HIPS) solution. NIPS offers a range hardware vendor options including Cisco, ISS, McAfee and 3Com TippingPoint. For high-level control, customised security policies can be set for individual devices.

Cost effective security
By allocating specialised security tasks to Telstra, your enterprise can save IT time and resources. Telstra has the experience, expertise and advanced technology to manage intrusion protection with maximum efficiency while keeping your IT managers informed in real-time.
