The primary challenges facing network operators and security
teams today is the time needed to confront the avalanche of
security alerts and events, operate multiple security consoles, and
understand evolving security threats, such as zero-day malware
mutations. This time crunch can result in missing critical security
events that indicate active breaches, targeted attacks, and data
theft. Network operators need to deploy security and analytics
tools that improve efficiency as opposed to creating additional
time demands.
Cloud-based Centralized Threat Intelligence
Management
ThreatARMOR Central Management provides a convenient, secure
portal for managing global deployments of ThreatARMOR devices.
Leveraging the elastic processing afforded by the cloud, it
provides scalable management, log collection, and centralized
reporting of policy, inventory, licensing, device health, and
synchronization status, as well as aggregated blocking data.
ThreatARMOR Central Management requires zero setup by network
operators, and hosting and data storage capabilities are provided
by Ixia via the cloud. Central management is now available to all
ThreatARMOR (1G or 10G) customers currently under subscription, at
no additional cost.
“Constantly evolving security threats require multiple tools to
keep our network and end points safe and secure. I believe Ixia's
ThreatARMOR is one of these tools. It provides that extra layer of
defense and instantly starts filtering traffic with little to no
configuration necessary,” stated Mike Halaychick, I.S. Network
Manager, MVP Sports Clubs. “The new ThreatARMOR Central Management
capability is an added benefit, as it delivers a single pane of
glass to monitor all of my ThreatARMOR devices from one location.
Overall, in today’s battle against Cyberattacks, I am extremely
satisfied with the ThreatARMOR solution and the role it plays in my
CyberSecurity defense strategy.”
Access to Threat Intelligence from Anywhere
The new ThreatARMOR Mobile Application offers a quick, portable
method for checking ThreatARMOR statistics regardless of location,
including blocked threats, traffic throughput, and geolocation of
blocked connections. It provides users with at-a-glance insight
into ThreatARMOR device status, the current Protection Score, which
indicates recent blocking bursts, and overall network throughput,
by geography. The initial release of the ThreatARMOR mobile
application is available via Apple iOS devices.
Continuously Updated Threat Intelligence
ThreatARMOR threat intelligence is kept current with a feed from
the company’s Application Threat Intelligence (ATI) Research
Center, which is updated every five minutes, and provides access to
300 plus application protocols and over 36,000 security attacks.
This real-time, cloud-based threat intelligence enables ThreatARMOR
to deliver continuous protection, filtering out untrusted
countries, malicious sites, and harmful IP addresses (malware
distribution, phishing sites, botnet C&C sites, spam
distribution, bogons, hijacked domains, and unassigned IPs). The
ATI Research Center performs both manual and automated analysis of
malware and techniques used by hackers to compromise networks,
24x7, 365 days a year.
