LANDesk recently announced to have included a built-in host intrusion protection to its collection of handouts. The best-of-the-breed and state-of-the-art technology is claimed to assist VARs to provide their customers with endpoint security from zero-day threats. Devin Anderson, business line manager at the subsidiary of Avocent, in Huntsville, Ala, was quoted as saying; This inclusion is valuable to our channel partners because it lets them sell a solution into a business, rather than just point products. Previously LANDesk customers relied on anti-virus software for network protection. The latest technology is claimed to carry security a step ahead, providing security to combat threats, which have not been detected so far or are hidden. LANDesk’s HIP system makes use of rules-enabled technology that watches network traffic and machine activities to make out incongruities or happenings of security policy violations relied up preclassified rules commissioned by security and IT administrators. LANDesk stated the latest system incorporates strongly with its current security application to make available built-in patch, anti-virus and anti-spyware management, NAC (network access control), mobile device security and HIP in a standalone management console and complex solution.
