IBM Security Network Protection

IBM Security Network Protection (XGS), provides a web services API that enables third-party applications such as Deep Discovery Email Inspector to directly submit suspicious objects. IBM XGS can perform the following functions:

• Quarantine hosts infected with malware

• Block communication to C&C servers

• Block access to URLs found to be distributing malware

To integrate Deep Discovery Email Inspector with IBM XGS, configure a generic agent to do the following:

• Accept alerts that adhere to a specific schema

• Create quarantine rules based on a generic ATP translation policy

The ATP translation policy allows several categories of messages to take different actions on IBM XGS, including blocking and alerting.
