LEBANON, NH — (Marketwired) — 12/17/14 — Leading network security software provider ® announced ten new enhancements in its Q4 product update today, which combine to better meet the network monitoring, security and forensics needs of large enterprise, government and mid-sized businesses. FlowTraq is a software solution that analyzes network flow records, maintaining a full-fidelity record of network traffic and identifying anomalies as they happen.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are one of the most common network security attacks faced today. Companies of all sizes find themselves a target, and unfortunately, often a victim. In order to stay ahead of the ever-changing threat landscape, many of FlowTraq–s Q4 updates stem directly from customer experiences, which keeps FlowTraq in tune with the current threat environment. Additional improvements deepen the integration with partner . Now, FlowTraq improves DDoS response by instructing the TPS with minute details of the ongoing attack, so that legitimate traffic may pass uninterrupted.
“Companies are challenged to secure increasingly large networks — with one client recently growing to over 30,000 public servers that require protection — and they need a solution that will scale with them, in a cost-effective manner,” said Dr. Vincent Berk, Co-Founder and CEO of FlowTraq. “With this release, operators of networks are able to get faster real-time visibility into their data and have more flexibility in terms of mitigation.”
Q4 updates to FlowTraq include:
By carefully analyzing the disk I/O scheduling behavior of various operating systems, FlowTraq significantly improved disk performance for historical analysis. Improvements of 2.5x have been observed on Linux, while Windows 2012 realized a 10x performance improvement on heavily loaded systems.
New enhancements include detection capabilities to precisely identify unique aspects of each UDP reflection attack.
No longer a solely automatic detection system, users now have the option to manually mitigate attacks, providing security teams with more flexibility.
