Network Security

WildPackets network monitoring solution gives IT administrators the ability to locate and trace the source of virus outbreaks.

IDS/IPS systems and other security solutions fail to provide network engineers with the details they need to locate and correct the source of an attack. Without detailed network analysis, security solutions are incomplete. Firewalls and other perimeter defenses do not provide enterprise networks with the protection they need from viruses, DoS attacks, and other forms of malware. Especially in the age of mobile users, laptops, and wireless networking, the danger facing networks comes from the inside.

A mid-sized company continued to suffer from virus outbreaks on the corporate network, despite their best efforts to quarantine mysterious emails and other traffic at the firewall. As it turned out, most of these outbreaks occurred when well-intentioned company employees infected their laptops at home, and then returned to the office.

Our Solution

• OmniPeek Enterprise

• TimeLine network recorder

With the WildPackets solution, network administrators can monitor for specific virus fingerprints anywhere on the network, all day, and every day. They will receive immediate notification via email, SMTP, or custom method when a security breach occurs, then trace the spread and source of each infection.

When integrated with a system from WildPackets’ partner A10 Networks, OmniPeek reports up-to-the-moment authentication information about the users launching and suffering from attacks. For example, network engineers can immediately see that the source of a SYN flood is joe@bigcompany.com, rather than an anonymous IP address.

Business Benefits

• Real-time Identification of attacks and their sources
• Security policy can be implemented from a single, central location and applied consistently across the entire network
