HackerShield protects against both internal and external hackers. It finds holes the way a hacker would - by probing the operating system and the network. After each scan, HackerShield prepares an easy-to-read report. It tells you what holes are on your servers, where they are and how to close them. Some of them it can even close automatically.

HackerShield maps your network to create an inventory of your servers, workstations and other IP devices. Using this network map, it probes each device for programs that contain security holes. Holes that could be exploited over the Internet (or intranet). HackerShield uses a database of known hacker techniques to find and close holes on firewalls, web servers, mail servers, database servers, file servers, routers and other IP devices. It can find holes on Unix, Windows NT and Windows 95/98 operating systems as well.

HackerShield scans the operating system and internal configuration of each NT server. It automates the process of checking for missing OS patches, specifically ones that could result in security breaches. It also checks NT servers and workstations for the integrity of key system files, file directory permissions, and registry values and permissions.

1. Ensures your network and servers can defend against attacks from the Internet - including attacks that make it past your firewall.
2. Fortifies your servers to defend against attacks on the operating system.
3. Warns of changes to NT system files, possibly made by a hacker.
4. Closes holes automatically (configurable).
5. Conveniently scans devices across your network from a central management console.
6. Easily understood and put into action by administrators without a specific security background.
7. Easily implemented by IS staff who may not be security experts.
8. Digitally signed updates protect you against the latest threats.
9. Finds holes on servers and workstations with multiple operating systems (Unix, Windows, etc.).
10. Saves time and money. No security expertise required.
