-- First, is the ability to detect, locate and control a wide range of
services on a network. Network operators can now maximize the utilization
of their networks by detecting and managing unwanted traffic (e.g. gray
VoIP) or other unauthorized servers or services running on a network.
-- Second, is the ability to detect and analyze application-layer traffic
and generate alerts according to network operator-defined rules. For
example, application tunneling that would otherwise circumvent port-based
firewall rules can be detected, allowing the operator or service provider
to take appropriate action.
-- Third, is the ability to selectively capture traffic based on the
existence of keywords or other patterns of bytes. This enhanced
interception capability aids network operators and law enforcement agencies
in investigating criminal activity and fighting terrorism.
-- Fourth, NarusInsight has significantly expanded capability to monitor
and analyze the ever-growing volume of traffic on carrier and government
networks. Multiple petabytes of traffic can be processed, correlated and
analyzed in a single system in real-time. The highly scalable architecture
provides a cost-effective solution for typical deployments today and an
efficient growth path as networks continue to expand in size and
performance.
Narus also added the following analysis and integration enhancements to
NarusInsight:
-- Customizable reporting structure for creating customer-specific
analytics
-- An open interface for integration with virtually any mitigation device
an operator may want to use to act on the anomalies reported by
NarusInsight
-- Support for integrating with third-party alert reporting and
management tools, such as ArcSight
"Service providers and government contractors must ensure their networks
are protected against malicious cyber attacks and meet government
regulatory requirements," said Les Niles, vice
president, product management, Narus. "We worked closely with our
customers to ensure we deliver a highly customizable real-time traffic
intelligence solution. The enhanced NarusInsight enables our customers to
protect against network attacks and unwanted traffic, expand the precision
targeting capabilities for lawful intercept, and meet their scalability
requirements, including full support for 10 Gb networks. We are pleased to
announce today the newest version of NarusInsight."
NarusInsight is the foundation for the industry's most advanced real-time
cyber protection, intercept and traffic management solutions. Beginning
with ubiquitous collection directly from network links or from existing
network elements such as routers and firewalls, and moving through a
massively scalable processing engine, NarusInsight has the ability to
simultaneously provide deep-packet analysis, full session reconstruction
and traffic correlation across every link and every element on the network.
Regardless of the consuming application and whether the information
required is based on full packets, application-layer metrics or basic
flow-level information, NarusInsight captures and processes the information
in real-time in a single network-wide system. With NarusInsight's
capabilities to "see" traffic from the network through the application
layer, Narus is in a unique position to help its customers understand their
traffic. Once they understand the traffic, the NarusInsight Solutions for
Cyber Protection, Intercept and Traffic Management allow them to protect
and manage their networks, and to comply with governmental regulations.
