Arbor Networks Introduces the Pravail

Chelmsford, MA (PRWEB) October 15, 2012

Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of network security and management solutions for enterprise and service provider networks, today introduced a new solution in its Pravail portfolio for enterprise and government network operators. Pravail Network Security Intelligence (NSI) monitors network traffic data and uses advanced analytics to help organizations close the security gaps left by firewalls and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). It looks inside the network and delivers the situational awareness required to identify advanced threats, internal network misuse or abuse, and also infected mobile devices connected to the network.

With the release of Pravail NSI, Arbor has created a platform for delivering actionable security intelligence that is critical for identifying and stopping attacks. Arbors Pravail family also includes the Availability Protection System (APS), which looks out from the network perimeter to detect and mitigate, in real-time, application-layer DDoS attacks. These stealthy attacks are the primary threat to security infrastructure solutions today which, if compromised, can threaten the very availability of networks themselves.

Pravail NSI leverages Arbors threat detection technology which has been deployed in enterprise networks since 2003. The threat landscape has changed dramatically in the past two or three years, let alone over the past decade. Pravail NSI extends those capabilities to address an acute concern for businesses today, the damage to the bottom line and brand integrity that can come from an undetected advanced or insider threat, said Arbor Networks President Colin Doherty.

According to Gartner analyst John Pescatore in a report titled Strategies for Dealing with Advanced Targeted Threats, targeted attacks are penetrating standard levels of security controls and causing significant business damage to enterprises that do not evolve their security controls. Gartner estimates that, for the average enterprise, 4% to 8% of executables that pass through antivirus and other defenses are malicious. Enterprises need to focus on reducing vulnerabilities and increasing monitoring capabilities to deter or more quickly react to evolving threats, and not focus on what country the attacks are coming from.

Pravail NSI offers a comprehensive view of all activities occurring in, on and around the network including Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) that are accessing corporate resources, botnet communication and application misuse. Using Pravail NSI, IT teams have the ability to:
