Re: ISS Proventia G100's

[Avi C <chesla () 012 net il>]

Good signature-based engine with comprehensive attack signature DB but with
very limited behavioral analysis (statistical analysis) capabilities.

This means that known exploits will be mitigated thoroughly (good methods
against evasion techniques) but behavioral-based attacks such as DoS & DDoS
flood attack and new/unknown worms will not be detected efficiently.

Test Your IDS

Is your IDS deployed correctly?
Find out quickly and easily by testing it 
with real-world attacks from CORE IMPACT.
