Narus and Cyber Security

» Preview: 90 second video

 
NarusInsight is the leading traffic intelligence system for capturing, analyzing and correlating IP traffic in real time. NarusInsight is the foundation for the industry's most advanced real-time cyber protection, intercept and traffic management solutions. Unlike legacy, point-based solutions, NarusInsight offers a scalable and distributed processing system that is easily extended, which provide the essential insight required to support both the rapid deployment of new services and secure delivery of current services.

In all cases and for all solutions, Narus employs a four-phase approach to traffic intelligence:

1. Monitor traffic from the network through the application layer
2. Create actionable knowledge
3. Analyze at macro or micro level
4. Take informed action based on business and operational policies

Cyber Protection Solution

Society, the global economy and critical national infrastructures are largely dependent on computer networks. Given their role and rising importance, these networks are increasingly the target of highly sophisticated and crippling attacks motivated by politics, religion, economics or espionage. Service providers regularly face DoS/DDoS and other malicious attacks that severely impact their ability to offer the quality of service their customers expect and require. Government organizations and national infrastructures (public and private) face an ever-increasing threat that moves beyond simply being a “nuisance” and into the realm of being both financially and socially crippling. Simply put, today’s attacks are targeted at our way of life and not merely the ability to send and receive e-mail or visit a web site.

Intercept Solution

As service providers and government organizations migrate to next generation networks and continue to evolve new communication services, the complexity associated with monitoring those networks for intercept purposes increases dramatically. Whether the intercept requirement is for compliance with lawful intercept mandates (via published standards or through other means) or purely for managing private government or national networks, the solution must be scalable and flexible enough to deal with multiple environments and traffic patterns.

Traffic Management Solution

The exponential growth of Internet traffic and the rapid adoption of new Internet-based services such as VoIP, streaming media, IPTV and peer-to-peer (P2P) communication have made the management of unauthorized and or unlicensed services on networks increasingly complex. Presence of such services have both financial and security implications for many service providers and government organizations. Many providers are losing revenue and seeing their bandwidth consumed by unauthorized IP services such as unmanaged VoIP (grey VoIP). Beyond the pure financial loss associated with rogue VoIP servers, the presence of unauthorized SMTP and DNS servers in a network can pose serious security threats for an organization.
