Open-source rules-matching engine and data mining capabilities now
integrated into secure network appliance for very high speed packet
capture, intrusion detection and analysis.
Endace Limited (”Endace”; LSE/AIM: EDA), a world leader in network
monitoring solutions, today announced the addition of Snort(r) IDS,
Applied Watch Command Center Agent and data mining features to the
NinjaProbe(tm), further enhancing the premier passive capture
capabilities of Endace’s hardened, secure and centrally managed product
portfolio.
“Leveraging our unique application acceleration technology and exclusive
Applied Watch security information manager, we can now deliver an easily
deployable, powerful and secure rules-matching engine as part of our
comprehensive NinjaProbe appliance portfolio,” said Stephen Gleave, VP
Marketing at Endace. “In turn, this allows network security engineers
to choose a managed appliance running the most widely deployed open
source intrusion detection software system on segments up to 10Gbps.
Our ability to simultaneously capture all traffic to disk also ensures
that when a rule is triggered, network analysts can immediately mine any
related data that might have traversed the network both before and after
the alert.”
NinjaProbes are powered by Endace’s market leading DAG(r) technology.
The family of manageable appliances is designed to be deployed
ubiquitously across the network, from the edge to the core. Remote
management capabilities are now also provided for Snort rule definition,
download and alerting along with in-depth data mining and complete
platform configuration. Ninjaprobe also supports traffic filtering and
Netflow record generation, enabling network operators to deploy
appliances that meet the full range of intrusion detection, data
capture, performance management, traffic monitoring and electronic
surveillance requirements.
“Our acquisition of Applied Watch has enabled Snort management tools to
be tightly integrated with NinjaProbe,” commented Mike Riley, CEO of
Endace. “Not only have we raised the performance bar for IDS
appliances, we have also raised the price/performance bar in a market
which continues to demand more for less.”
Pricing for Ninjaprobe IDS appliance starts at $28,825.00
