Sana Security creates award-winning, autonomous intrusion prevention software that is aware of environment change, adaptive to new threats and active in preventing attacks before they do harm across mission-critical computer systems. Sana Security is partnering with IBM to provide an integrated solution to customers that delivers automated provisioning of intrusion protection. Sana Security’s Primary Response intrusion prevention product will work with IBM Tivoli® Enterprise Console® and the Autonomic Computing initiative to provide customers with an enterprise solution for network maintenance of security policies.

"Sana Security is excited to participate in this initiative with an established industry leader like IBM, who is well-known for their innovation. Both companies take inspiration from the human body, its central nervous and immune systems, in order to overcome the necessary complexity of interlocking networks in today's business world. Today's dynamic organizations demand more than the static security and computing technologies, our goal is to deliver the benefits of true autonomic computing."
- Timothy Eades, senior vice president, Sana Security

Primary Response’s autonomic approach to intrusion prevention software offers customers a higher level of protection, in a highly scalable and manageable manner, with negligible performance impact. As a result, organizations can improve the security and availability of critical business resources, while reducing operational costs (especially in the area of patch management, in terms of financial and human resource) and ensuring compliance with corporate policy and federal regulations. Primary Response works with Tivoli Enterprise Console to provide customers with automated management of system security. Both Primary Response and Tivoli Enterprise Console are event-based systems. Primary Response is packaged in a way to be deployed by Tivoli. New systems on the network can automatically be deployed with Primary Response for instant and constant protection. Primary Response is automatically configured for the system based on preset values for system groups. Primary Response continues to adapt protection of the system with learned profiles and shared protection policies that are continuously updated with trusted application and known malicious software lists. Protection is provided at the system kernel level, preventing unknown drivers, changes to registry settings, and specific file system behaviors, while also self-protecting the Primary Response Agent.
