Stop FTP Intrusions

FTP servers, especially those that are Internet-facing are targets for attack. Our customers report seeing regular attacks on their FTP servers, usually in the form of dictionary attacks. These can result in 50,000-100,000 attempts to break in per hour. These attacks expose your company to unauthorized access to company assets and put an unnecessary load on the servers in your network.

FTP/WatchDog's new IntrusionBlock feature automatically detects FTP intrusion attempts and takes corrective action to shut them down before they can cause harm. Click here to learn more about stopping FTP Intrusion attacks.
