Sleuth9 Security System 3.0 Sits in Front of the Router
The Sleuth9 Security System version 3.0 is a network attack mitigation
and intrusion prevention solution that instantly detects and
automatically prevents cyber attacks from entering or leaving a
network. The latest release includes new security features and
functionality designed to stop sophisticated, blended cyber attacks
including DoS, DDoS, Port Scans, trojan horses, propagating worms and
viruses.
"Unlike other security solutions, Sleuth9 sits in front of the
router and evaluates all network traffic at the packet level, both
ingress and egress, to determine what is valid and what is
malicious," stated Sue Dark, chief executive officer at DeepNines.
"Because other network security systems sit behind the router they
are automatically vulnerable to attacks."
New features of Sleuth9:
100 percent Packet Inspection: Increases accuracy and detection by
using signature, protocol and traffic anomaly detection
Active Mitigation and Prevention: Sits inline, in front of the
router, actively blocks malicious traffic and writes it to the
Sleuth9 ForensiX database
IP Spoofing Prevention: Constantly analyzes key indicators such
as byte, packet and connection rates to identify and prevent IP
spoofing based attacks
Zero Footprint Technology (ZFT): Invisible to the network and
removes the complexity of installation, setup, administration and
configuration processes that can cause vulnerabilities
Adaptive Rate Control: Administrator may apply settings to
customize traffic profiles and performance specific to the
network
Self Monitoring Intelligence (SMI): Real-time snapshot of
various internal elements and the system's current health
IPv6 Solution: Will interoperate with current and emerging
protocol standards, enabling customers to migrate securely to
IPv6
ForensiX Capture Database: Long term trend and traffic analysis
at very granular levels identifying abusive behavior and malicious
trends, optimizing bandwidth and maximizing security
The Sleuth9 Security System runs on any SolarisTM 8 Operating Environment
(SPARCR Platform Edition) Sun
UltraSPARCR machine with 2 processors, 4 MB of L2 Cache Memory, 3
SunFastEthernetTM Network Interface Cards, and 2 GB RAM memory.
