Remote Store Security

Historically, security measures have been deployed at the hub of hub-and-spoke networks in order to obtain visibility into all network traffic. However, with the advent of fully-meshed MPLS networks, this now breaks the model of a once effective security strategy. Since MPLS enables direct remote-site-to-remote-site network communications, security operations must respond with a cost effective means of regaining network visibility. Common options entertained include:

• Deploying high maintenance host agents on every host in every remote site

• Deploying an IDS/IPS at each remote site

• Deploying a centralized, agentless, and non-intrusive flow-based network monitoring solution at a fraction of the upfront and ongoing cost of the former two options

Signatures updates and time-consuming host agent management can pose threats to network performance. Unlike technologies that require burdensome maintenance, StealthWatch®’s flow-based approach to continuous, real time monitoring, the end user experience is optimized and productivity maximized. Delivering unified visibility across physical and virtual networks, StealthWatch is the leading Network Behavior Analysis (NBA) solution that ensures a unique and cost-effective alternative over host agents and IDS/IPS deployments by:

• Providing Enterprise-wide visibility into all host behaviors and their activity on the network

• Requiring no signature updates

• Requiring no ongoing tuning

• Promoting network available through both passive monitoring and accelerated incident response
