How does PitBull technology fit in to my security architecture if I already use a firewall, IDS and encryption?
Argus security does not take the place of firewalls, encryption, or intrusion detection systems. Argus operating system level security augments and enhances your existing security architecture. You may find, however, that firewalls and IDS mechanisms become redundant and add to administrative complexity in many types of architectures, and that by securing your architecture with PitBull, you can eliminate your use of them. Argus security addresses security concerns that these and other mechanisms simply cannot. Most importantly, traditional security mechanisms operate only at the application level. This means that knowledgeable hackers can bypass these mechanisms through an attack on the operating system, for example, through buffer overflow or setuid0 exploits.
