Enterasys, widely known as the Secure Networks Company™, offers gigabit, 10-gigagbit and multi-gigabit routers, switches and other network appliances running its award-winning, automated Dragon intrusion detection/prevention system (IDS/IPS). The Dragon platform utilizes distributed hardware sensors for real-time, automated examination of traffic and detection/containment/eradication of threats.

Security information and event management are handled via a central Dragon Security Command Console, which can configure and manage multiple sensors at every network access port, even on multi-vendor, wired and/or wireless networks. The Dragon platform's capabilities enable large enterprises to enjoy robust, real-time detection and prevention/containment/removal of threat sources across even the most widely distributed and disparate networks.

The Enterasys Dragon IDS/IPS system simultaneously performs VoIP traffic analysis, vulnerability signature matching, protocol analysis and network behavioral analysis—and is the only solution in the network security industry to do so. Enterasys' standards-based, open-architecture approach extends technology lifecycles and reduces total cost of ownership while optimizing interoperability and throughput performance.
