Protect Your Internal Network |
|
The Arbor Peakflow X solution can protect your network’s internal use policies. That’s because Peakflow X enables enterprises and Internet data center operators to configure “white lists” that specify who can access what servers, what traffic can traverse a particular link, and other network-related rules. Whenever those rules are broken, Peakflow X automatically triggers an alert.
Peakflow X can also detect deviations from normal network activity and discover who caused the anomaly. Through its real-time network behavior analysis (NBA) capabilities, Peakflow X identifies the normal behavior of all network applications and traffic, including voice over IP (VoIP) and peer-to-peer (P2P). It then automatically alerts you to abnormalities due to traffic and usage violations, malicious activity, misconfigurations and even virulent zero-day threats that do not yet have signatures—enabling you to identify and deflect new virulent attacks that can slip by your existing antivirus and intrusion detection systems.
Peakflow X Features to Monitor and Secure the Internal Network
- Real-Time Risk Assessment: Peakflow X automatically calculates a risk index that identifies the hosts or users involved in multiple activities. This risk index uses sophisticated algorithms to pinpoint which hosts present the largest risk to network security. It also saves time by automatically prioritizing issues by impact.
- Network Visibility: Network operators can view interfaces for the entire network, or for a selected router or service. From a graphical user interface, users can investigate an interface’s top services, hosts and connections—and respond to security threats as they happen. During a worm outbreak, for example, users can quickly identify the most endangered routers and interfaces, and promptly shut them down to ensure safe quarantine.
- Flexible Identity Tracking: Peakflow X keeps a history of traffic by host and user, as well as associated alerts. Users gain both real-time and historic visibility into identity mappings—enabling them to see who is using an IP address at any given moment, along with a history of identity login/logoff times.
- Virtually Limitless Offline Storage for Compliance and Analysis: Enterprises can store nearly infinite amounts of data offline on SANs to monitor compliance and enable “back-in-time” analysis.
- Handle Regulations from A to Z: The administrative toll associated with proving regulatory compliance is staggering. Peakflow X can ease the burden. With its concise reports and ability to archive network communications information in a storage area network (SAN), Peakflow X helps simplify the auditing requirements for complying with the most demanding regulations, including SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act), GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act), PCI (Payment Card Industry data security standard) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act).
