Network Associates steps up intruder protection

Security company Network Associates plans to introduce on Monday new versions of its intrusion protection products for host computers and networks.

The updates are specifically for McAfee IntruShield--a device for protecting networks--and McAfee Entercept--security software for PCs and server computers.

The latest IntruShield, version 2.1, is able to use encryption keys to inspect encrypted traffic, such as data to an online stock trading site. IntruShield's upgrade also includes the ability to set up firewalls within a corporate network. Firewalls, typically established at an organization's perimeter, can block access to particular applications or Internet addresses.

# re: Network Associates steps up intruder protection

I've been watching a new company in this space called Sana Security - www.sanasecurity.com They claim to provide similiar functionality. Can you help me break down the difference between NAI's news today and what Sana currently offers (on the host side - I know that Sana does not yet have a desktop product). Thanks
