Introducing Host Intrusion
Prevention
McAfee
®
Host Intrusion Prevention is a host-based intrusion detection and prevention
system that protects system resources and applications from external and internal
attacks.
Host Intrusion Prevention protects against unauthorized viewing, copying, modifying,
and deleting of information and the compromising of system and network resources
and applications that store and deliver information. It accomplishes this through an
innovative combination of host intrusion prevention system signatures (HIPS), network
intrusion prevention system signatures (NIPS), behavioral rules, and firewall rules.
Host Intrusion Prevention is fully integrated with ePolicy Orchestrator and uses the
ePolicy Orchestrator framework for delivering and enforcing policies. The division of
Host Intrusion Prevention functionality into IPS, Firewall, Application Blocking, and
General features provides greater control in delivering policy protections and protection
levels to the users.
Protection is provided as soon as Host Intrusion Prevention is installed. The default
protection settings require little or no tuning and allow for a rapid, large-scale
deployment. For greater protection, edit and add policies to tune the deployment.
