BLUE BELL, Pa., Dec. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) announced today the launch of
Stealth(aware)™, a new Unisys Stealth® software application that
takes the fight to cybercrime by enabling organizations to easily
deploy enterprise-wide, micro-segmentation security across extended
networks with the touch of a button.
Recent high-profile data breaches have further validated
concerns about digital enterprises, while incidents of
denial-of-service attacks, insider threats, ransomware, targeted
espionage and privacy breaches are expected to worsen in the coming
years. At the same time, overstretched and under-resourced security
teams are struggling to detect and remediate risks effectively.
Through Stealth(aware), Unisys offers the ability to easily install
advanced security into any organization, making the most advanced
protection through high-level cybersecurity more accessible to
organizations of all sizes.
"Unisys has put a stake in the ground: we are committed to
improving the quality of peoples' lives through enhancing their
digital security, and today's launch of Unisys Stealth(aware)
represents the latest way we deliver on this promise," said Unisys
President and CEO Peter Altabef.
"The best cyber protection not only needs to work everywhere,
operate efficiently and keep you ahead of the threat, but it must
also be able to be easily deployed. Stealth(aware) meets these
standards across the board."
"With data and systems secured by Unisys Stealth, clients are
free to innovate and grow their businesses with a minimum level of
the anxiety prevalent in our digital world. At Unisys, we call this
securing your tomorrow."
Analytics Speed Up Deployment, Visualization Makes It
Work
Available today and featuring an intuitive, graphical user
interface, Stealth(aware) unleashes the Unisys Stealth
micro-segmentation product portfolio – including applications
focused on core, cloud, mobile, identity and analytics – which
creates segments within an organization where only authorized users
can access information, while others (from malware to insiders to
hackers) cannot even see that those segments exist.
In the case of Stealth(aware), built-in analytics automate and
speed up deployment. Stealth(aware) software can analyze data
traffic in a mid-sized company with thousands of nodes in just a
few minutes, for example, providing instant visualization and fine
tuning controls that can produce segmentation policies able to be
deployed at the push of a button. In addition, during testing
Stealth(aware) was able to complete assessments of enterprise
networks and their associated public clouds and integrated
suppliers in minutes – without weeks of redesign and
configuration.
"Unisys is building more intelligence into our products to
improve the user experience and simplify the implementation of
advanced security," said Tarek El-Sadany, senior vice president of
Technology and Chief Technology Officer, Unisys. "By designing
Stealth(aware) to automate the discovery and deployment process,
our clients can improve their level of security with faster
implementation across the data center and the cloud. Stealth(aware)
creates one security solution for an organization's hybrid
enterprise in a simple interface that can be implemented by
non-security experts."
Stealth(aware) automates and customizes the process of
installing security within enterprises via three main
components:
- Auto-Discover – This feature automatically determines what
endpoints, systems and associated network data flows exist on the
network.
- Auto-Configure – This capability uses the information obtained
through Auto-Discover to generate security policies.
- Auto-Deploy – This feature applies Unisys Stealth
micro-segmentation protection based on those security policies –
applying the optimal levels of protection to high-risk, high-value
network traffic.
Key product highlights include:
- Stealth(aware) leverages the latest industrial design
technology to provide clients with graphical views of their
infrastructure – both before and after the client installs Unisys
Stealth protection. These views can be achieved in minutes using
"drag and drop" and animation techniques to refine the client's
desired security end state. This visualization enables clients to
quickly and clearly understand both their vulnerabilities and path
to remediation through advanced Unisys Stealth security. The
resulting Stealth(aware) security profiles can be applied to other
departments or functions within the enterprise and deployed with
the push of a button.
- Stealth(aware) also provides multiple enforcement modes, so
clients can confidently and conveniently incorporate Unisys Stealth
protection. For example, clients can initially choose a
non-enforcement or learning mode to simply monitor what is
occurring in their environment or how segmentation will impact it.
They can then gradually increase the level of enforcement to
advanced protection levels that prohibit visibility and access to
data and assets to only "need to know" users. Different enforcement
settings can be applied to different segments of their enterprise
and simultaneously implemented.
- Stealth(aware) can quickly learn of changes to clients'
infrastructures and highlight new vulnerabilities. The product's
analytics, visualization and automation can then be used to
immediately remediate these vulnerabilities, thereby defeating
hackers who persistently and continually search for vulnerabilities
in changing enterprise infrastructures.
"With the availability of Stealth(aware), Unisys is providing an
opportunity for enterprises to obtain the benefits of some of the
most advanced security techniques available," said Doug Cahill, senior analyst, cybersecurity,
Enterprise Strategy Group Inc." As cyber threats become more
sophisticated and damaging, advanced security tools will become
essential to all public and private sector organizations,
regardless of their size or resources."
