Emerging technology brings business benefits, but also challenges in terms of complexity. Next generation endpoint security offers solutions which utilize behavioral analysis, AI – Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in providing protection from any new threats by early detection and proactive mitigation of them.
NEXT GENERATION SECURITY
ADAPTIT’s responsibility and obligation is to advice and help its customers to adapt to these changes and take advantage of them, either by introducing new entrants into an already established technology, or completely new, disruptive technologies.
We approach NEXT GENERATION SECURITY towards our customers to become transformative, to drive value, users to come first and better response.
As for general trends, “the convergence of hardware and software is defining the next-generation solutions,”.
Among the best examples of this trend, ADAPTIT cites Zabbix and OpenNMS technologies that include built-in analytics, encryption, and other security services, and Fortinet’s next-generation firewall that combines a firewall with threat services to better detect and respond to attacks.
“Integrating multiple point solutions into unified dashboards reduces the burden for IT security administrators,” our network security experts add.
With integrated, proactive capabilities, “the biggest selling point is that these technologies are more capable of detecting today’s advanced threats,” we believe. With many next-gen tools available as either appliances or virtual options, “there’s also the benefit of cloud-based analysis that can occur in real time.”
NEXT GENERATION FIREWALL
Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) filter network traffic to protect an organization from internal and external threats. Along with maintaining features of stateful firewalls such as packet filtering, IPsec and SSL VPN support, network monitoring, and IP mapping features, NGFWs possess deeper content inspection capabilities. These capabilities provide the ability to identify attacks, malware, and other threats, and allow the NGFW to block these threats.
NGFWs provide organizations with SSL inspection, application control, intrusion prevention, and advanced visibility across the entire attack surface. As the threat landscape rapidly expands due to co-location and multi-cloud adoption, and businesses grow to satisfy escalating customer needs, traditional firewalls fall further behind, unable to offer protection at scale, and leading to poor user experience and weak security posture. NGFWs not only block malware, but also include paths for future updates, giving them the flexibility to evolve with the threat landscape and keep the network secure as new threats arise. Next-generation firewalls are a vital component of implementing network security.
IT & NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING
Based on Zabbix and OpenNMS technologies monitor any possible performance metrics and incidents in your network:
Network performance
- Network bandwidth usage
- Packet loss rate
- Interface error-rate
- High CPU or memory utilization
- Number of tcp connections is anomaly high for this day of the week
- Aggregate throughput of core routers is low
Network health
- Link is down
- System status is in warning/critical state
- Device temperature is too high / too low
- Power supply is in critical state
- Free disk space is low
- Fan is in critical state
- No SNMP data collection
Configuration changes
- New device added or removed
- Network module is added, removed or replaced
- Firmware has been upgraded
- Device serial number has changed
- Interface has changed to lower speed or half-duplex mode
Monitor any possible server performance metrics and incidents:
Server performance
- High CPU or memory utilization
- Network bandwidth usage
- Packet loss rate
- Interface error rate
- Number of tcp connections is anomaly high for this day of the week
- Aggregate throughput of core routers is low
Server Availability
- Free disk space is low
- System status is in warning/critical state
- Device temperature is too high / too low
- Power supply is in critical state
- Fan is in critical state
- No SNMP data collection
- Network connection is down
