Solera Networks cited a strong uptake for its network forensics solutions by enterprises and government agencies, saying that it more than doubled its bookings in 2009. Solera’s platform helps security professionals actively identify the full source, context and scope of a security incident within any network.
The company also unveiled Solera OS 4.0, the latest version of its flagship product that provides active network forensics for instant response when a security incident occurs. Version 4.0 of Solera OS not only improves the platform’s record-setting performance, but also includes Solera DeepSee Forensics Suite, which indexes all captured network traffic, delivers detailed interactive reports and allows intuitive navigation for easy search and discovery. This complete historical record of all traffic, even on the fastest networks, enables security professionals to move from complex ‘incident response’ to ‘instant response’ for any security event, thus mitigating future risk. Most recently, the platform’s performance was put to the test at SC09, where Solera Networks was exclusively asked to test their product using real traffic at speeds reaching sustained bursts of 9 Gbps.
“When we talk with our customer base and prospects, it is clear that other vendors are unable to address the needs of complex high-speed networks in an all-in-one, consolidated solution,” said Steve Shillingford, CEO of Solera Networks. “Networks aren’t slowing down anytime soon. Organizations are realizing that they can only analyze what they can see, index and store. The Solera OS 4.0 network forensics platform is like a 24-hour surveillance camera on your network, recording and cataloging every event, even on today’s ultra-fast 10Gb networks. It allows customers to search all the traffic and identify the source, cause and extent of any network security breach.”http://www.soleranetworks.com
