Vantio™ ThreatAvert leverages the power of DNS to defend networks from inside threats
Redwood City, USA, October 24, 2013 ̶ Nominum TM, the provider of integrated subscriber, network, and security solutions for service providers, today announced the launch of Vantio TM ThreatAvert, a unique product for averting threats in fixed and mobile networks. A key element of this new product is the Nominum Global Intelligence Xchange (GIX), which provides a foundational security layer with continuous real-time threat updates. This combination delivers far greater security than a DNS firewall by neutralizing threats that originate from within the network itself. Service providers have seen huge growth in attacks originated inside their networks. These attacks take two forms – Inside/In, where attacks are launched inside the network on internal resources such as routers, DNS servers, gateways and mobile EPC (evolved packet core) resources – and Inside/Out, also launched inside the network, but against external resources such as websites, network assets, enterprises and other end-users. Network security architecture is predominantly focused on defending networks against external threats. As cyber-attacks become more sophisticated network security needs to evolve to match emerging threats. By addressing attacks planted inside the network service providers will be able to maintain network integrity and ensure an optimal level of performance for the end user. Vantio ThreatAvert leverages Nominum’s precision policy capabilities that can segment, identify and enforce policies by users or traffic types. It provides a level of policy granularity that is unmatched by any other security competitor and is capable of throttling attacks with configurable rate limiting capabilities. Leveraging these unique features, Vantio ThreatAvert delivers two primary benefits:Browse these posts below for the latest in cloud communications news and insights.
