Symantec Corp. bolstered its intrusion-detection system Monday with the release of ManHunt Smart Agent, which feeds events and alerts into a single console for easier digestion of and action on intrusions.

ManHunt furnishes multiple detection methodologies to find both known and unknown attacks, including protocol-anomaly detection, signature detection with custom signature support, traffic state profiling, and statistical flow analysis.

When linked with Symantec's Host IDS, ManHunt lets IT administrators monitor and analyze all intrusion events from one admin screen or console.

ManHunt is priced at $495. Agents are also available for third-party intrusion systems, including those from Check Point, Cisco Systems, and Tripwire.
