Pre-emptive Security

How do you welcome visitors while keeping troublemakers out?

IBM security technology lets US Open.org give genuine fans the fluid, open access they want, while helping to protect areas that might be vulnerable to attack. By deploying pre-emptive solutions like Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that focus on staying ahead of threats, IBM helps USOpen.org to secure the network and optimize throughput.

Intrusion Protection System (IPS)

The Internet Security Systems (ISS) Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) has the capability to analyze the large volume of network traffic experienced during tournaments and help stop malicious hacker intrusions before they can impact the infrastructure. It’s one of a full range of IBM security product solutions that also includes:

Internet Security Systems

With ISS, the site can be protected by a range of innovative products that work together to enhance intrusion prevention. Network traffic can be inspected and analyzed in real-time, so threats can be identified immediately and prevented from reaching US Open.org. ISS equipment is deployed across all the hosting locations providing the infrastructure that supports the US Open.org site.

Cost Control

How do you maintain security at peak times, without stretching the budget?

In traditional reactive security, threats are like needles in a haystack: If traffic increases, the haystack grows, and so does workload and expense. To prevent higher costs – even during tournament time – IBM products like ISS Management SiteProtector deliver centralized management and monitoring. This can deliver better security at lower cost, without compromising performance.

Centralized management and ISS Management SiteProtector

The ISS Management SiteProtector allows centralized management and monitoring of both the Proventia IPS and the Network Anomaly Detection System (ADS) security tools to reduce costs associated with security systems management. SiteProtector can provide ’ahead of the threat protection’ using ISS Virtual Patch Technology, compliance reporting, asset management, extensive data analysis, remediation management, simplified user administration, and infrastructure integration.

Security Checks

How do you security check everyone without queues building up?

In order to make sure ongoing security checks don’t keep genuine fans waiting, IBM deploys ADS on USOpen.org. ADS has the ability to examine continually the behavior of users, networks and applications across the network, without creating bottlenecks of any kind. Security at this level is essential for high profile sites, particularly those that experience dramatic spikes in traffic.
