CA Host-Based Intrusion
Prevention System r8 
CA Host-Based Intrusion Prevention System (CA HIPS) blends stand-alone firewall
and intrusion detection and prevention capabilities to provide centralized proactive threat
protection to counter online threats. This combination offers superior security access
control, policy enforcement, easy intrusion prevention management and deployment
from a central location via a single console with an intuitive user interface. It also extends
the endpoint protection of the CA Threat Manager r8.1 solution composed of the CA
Anti-Virus r8.1 and CA Anti-Spyware r8.1 offerings and complements the gateway
protection offered by CA Secure Content Manager r8.

Today's Malware Challenges
The sophistication of new threats and the
damage they cause are increasing at the
same time that more and more
employees and partners are working
remotely. To counterattack today's
threats, traditional anti-virus and anti-
spyware solutions are no longer sufficient
to protect stand-alone systems against
targeted application-level attacks. 
To effectively manage today's threats and
security challenges, organizations also
require an enterprise-ready, combined
stand-alone firewall with a host-based
intrusion detection and prevention
(IDS/IPS) solution. This solution provides
protection by proactively identifying and
preventing the malicious behavior
characteristic of malware. It assists both
IT administrators and end users by
detecting, filtering, and managing
applications and system resources.
Comprehensive CA HIPS
Solution Benefits
CA HIPS is an innovative combination of a
stand-alone firewall and a comprehensive
host-based intrusion detection and
prevention system. By adding CA HIPS,
you enhance your endpoint protection
through centralized access control and
policy enforcement. The IPS capabilities
allow organizations to automatically react
to threats and block malicious traffic
while the IDS features block known
threats. Both provide alerts based on the
priorities defined by the system
administrator via the Event Manager.
