Nokia Intrusion Prevention offers advanced protection for the “dissolving” network perimeter

Nokia (NYSE:NOK), the world leader in mobile communications, today announces the availability of Nokia Intrusion Prevention with Sourcefire, an enterprise security solution that combines three powerful security capabilities to protect inside and outside the network perimeter as enterprises become increasingly mobile.

Nokia Intrusion Prevention with Sourcefire is a dedicated appliance-based security solution that combines all three elements required for the most effective threat prevention with the least business disruption: intrusion prevention (IPS/IDS), vulnerability analysis, and network behavior analysis (NBA) including network change detection. The Sourcefire 3D System was named the “Best Security Solution” of 2006 by SC Magazine, and is an SC Awards 2007 finalist for Best Intrusion Detection/Prevention Solution. Offering Sourcefire software on hardened, purpose-built, high-performance Nokia IP Security Platforms gives customers a powerful intrusion prevention solution backed by the global scale and world-class First Call – Final Resolution support services of Nokia. Customers already using Nokia appliances for firewall capabilities can now adopt the same appliance model for intrusion prevention.

“Enterprise customers face challenges as mobile devices, smart phones, laptops, wireless networks, PDAs and other remote access technologies erode the network perimeter and introduce the opportunity for multiple points of vulnerability,” said Tom Furlong, vice president, Security and Mobile Connectivity, Nokia. “Nokia Intrusion Prevention gives companies an always-on view of users, the network and applications, enabling them to discover what is going on within the network, determine the impact to the business, and defend the network in real time.”
