issue 2 - November 2007

issue 1 - June 2007

business challenge

Firewalls and anti-virus solutions are no longer sufficient for dealing with the complex threats and subtle attacks facing businesses these days. A porous enterprise perimeter, weakened by the increasing use of mobile devices, has made it essential to take a new dynamic and adapted approach to security. You now need to detect attacks or dangerous activity even before they start to create damage.

our solution

Active Prevention is a fully-managed intrusion detection and prevention (IDP) solution. Based on Juniper technology, it is available in four configurations to suit all locations. Operated and monitored 24x7, Active Prevention guarantees that attacks and malicious activity can be detected and blocked in real time, at any time. Active Prevention is offered with choice of three support levels:

standard incorporates regular monitoring and management activities, including patching, upgrades, and change or service management;

enhanced includes a weekly analysis by our experts to make sense of security alerts and recommend the appropriate actions to take;
extended sees these recommendations provided in real-time.

our approach

By using Active Prevention you are able to identify and stop network and application-level attacks before they inflict any damage. It is an active, in-line system that detects attacks and drops malicious traffic during the detection process. When the appliance is installed, it immediately begins monitoring as a promiscuous device using a robust default configuration. We will base line, tune the appliance and activate the blocking feature rule by rule.

the result

Active Prevention increases the level of security of your entire network. With our expert advice, you can perfectly tune how it reacts to threats, reducing the number of ‘false positives’, a common problem with IDP appliances, and keeping the right balance between open business and protection.

business benefits

It will give you visibility over the threats targeting your network while proactively protecting your key business assets. Orange can interpret the security data in order to provide meaningful information and recommendations to maintain your security levels at their maximum.
