SecureWorks has announced an extension to its iSensor intrusion
prevention service it calls “SNMP defense technology.” According to
the company, the new features ensure SNMPv1-enabled devices and
operating systems are safe from attacks due to recently-announced
vulnerabilities in the protocol that affect hundreds of
remotely-manageable devices.
The company says all its iSensor products can prevent SNMP
attacks, by blocking all malicious SNMP traffic while allowing valid
SNMP traffic to the network. SecureWorks has released a white
paper on the new features.
