Issue:
Do WithSecure endpoint products have a Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) function?
Products:
- Elements Endpoint Protection (Elements EPP for Computers and Servers)
- Business Suite Client Security and Server Security
Resolution:
Yes, WithSecure product such as Elements Endpoint Protection, Client Security and Server Security do have a Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS).
The feature is called DeepGuard and instead of relying solely on traditional signature-based detection (which checks files against a database of known threats), DeepGuard acts as a behavioral layer of security. It monitors applications in real-time to intercept and block unknown or zero-day threats based on how they act.
