Strata Guard® is an award-winning family of network-based intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) that provide real-time, zero-day protection from network attacks and malicious traffic. With four different models and two deployment options, Strata Guard protects your enterprise from the network perimeter to the core, including remote and internal segments (shown in the graphic below).

Strata Guard employs six distinct attack-detection technologies for comprehensive network protection. With signature-based and behavior-based attack detection, deep packet inspection, and protocol anomaly analysis, Strata Guard terminates network-, application-, and service-level attacks including worms, Trojans, spyware, port scans, DoS and DDoS attacks, server exploit attempts, and viruses before they infiltrate the network and cause real damage.

Beyond blocking malicious attacks, Strata Guard enforces your network usage polices and can block peer-to-peer file sharing, instant messaging, chat, prohibited browsing activity, and worm propagation. It detects anomalous activity such as spoofed attack source addresses, TCP state verification, and rogue services running on the network.

Highly automated, Strata Guard is designed for ease of use and streamlined administration and management. Through its multi-layered Dynamic Attack Qualification^TM technologies, Strata Guard eliminates false-positives. Its multi-node, multi-user management capabilities allow for enterprise-wide deployments and provide appropriate levels of control for the full range of users requiring access to security data.

Strata Guard is available as software or as a preconfigured hardware appliance.

IDS/IPS protection for the SMB?

Up to now, IDS/IPS protection was the realm of larger enterprise with larger budgets and dedicated support staff. With Strata Guard’s® SMB product line, any sized business can now afford the same level of detection and protection as larger enterprises. GNSC’s MSP model can also provide dedicated security assistance to customers with Strata Guard® deployments. You don’t need to hire security personnel with our unique MSP programs.
