How does preEmpt differ from traditional Host Intrusion Prevention software solutions such as Cisco CSA?
Traditional Host Intrusion Prevention (HIP) systems intercept and inspect all system calls to enforce pre-defined security policies. The systems attempt to limit applications to known acceptable behaviors. While properly administered HIP software can protect a host from many types of attacks, defining and maintaining the list of codified ‘security policies’ is an administrative challenge that requires a large and ongoing investment. preEmpt does not rely on behavioral policies. preEmpt is the next-generation Host Intrusion Prevention software that proactively blocks the root cause of worms and viruses.
