Third Brigade Deep Security is an advanced, host-based intrusion defense system that consists of three main components. Deep Security Manager is a powerful, centralized, management system that allows administrators to apply security profiles to hosts, and track threats and preventive actions taken in response to them. Detailed reports document attempted attacks, and provide an auditable history of security configurations and changes. Deep Security Agent is a small, host-based software component that includes a high performance deep packet inspection engine. The Agent defends the host by monitoring incoming and outgoing traffic for protocol deviations, content that signals an attack, or policy violations. When necessary, the Agent intervenes and neutralizes the threat by blocking the malicious traffic. Third Brigade Security Center provides information on the latest vulnerabilities, and security updates that shield these vulnerabilities and reduce risk.
