Product: ipAngel intrusion prevention system
Company: AmbironTrustWave

A key requirement of the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard is protecting your network against intrusions. PCI security specialist AmbironTrustWave made it easier to choose a reliable firewall product when it acquired Lucid Security, the maker of the ipAngel, a security appliance designed to provide adaptive, intelligent intrusion prevention.

Intrusion prevention technologies play a critical role in helping businesses comply with PCI, said Robert J. McCullen, AmbironTrustWave's Chief Executive Officer.

The appliance is designed to guard networks from Internet-borne threats such as worms, Trojan horses and other online hazards. By intelligently integrating vulnerability identification and intrusion prevention into a single appliance, the platform is said to deliver comprehensive security of an organization's network assets.

Departing from threat-centric intrusion-prevention methods dominating the network security market, the ipAngel employs an asset-centric approach. It first identifies the unique vulnerabilities of the assets it protects and then filters only those exploits posing a unique threat to them.

The ipAngel 4.0 platform comes in five flavors. They range from the ipAngel-10, which operates at 10 megabits per second in network throughput, to the ipAngel-1200, which is rated at 1.2 gigabits per second.

Since the acquisition of Lucid Security, AmbironTrustWave has added a card-based acceleration technology from NodalCore to ipAngel models 400, 800 and 1200. The plug-in card boosts their scanning and throughput performance by off-loading key content inspection tasks, such as pattern-matching, decomposition and message digests.
