U.S. Defense-tested Cyber Security Automation
PoliWall with ProACT advanced filtering provides the highest level of automated security without slowing down the network.
Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) September 24, 2015
Bandura, LLC, maker of the fast, automated, U.S. Defense-tested PoliWall Security Platform, today introduces ProACT™ server which aggregates multiple sources of threat intelligence to provide the most accurate picture of the threat landscape and takes auto-action to prevent data breaches in real-time. ProACT software allows customers to aggregate real-time threat information from their own network combined with external threat intelligence feeds. ProACT dynamically assesses the aggregated risk and adjusts access control policies according to user-defined risk-tolerance levels, stopping inbound attacks and outbound data leakage.
“ProACT takes a revolutionary approach to handling the labor-intensive task of using actionable threat intelligence to protect your network. ProACT aggregates threat intelligence from many sources and calculates a risk-score for each identified IP, and then delivers the aggregated risk scores to the Poliwall, where it takes action to stop the threats, “ says Bandura CTO and Co-Founder, Dave Maestas. “The ever increasing number of network threats results in network security professionals ignoring constant alarms, and spending precious time sorting through massive amounts of log data to identify the real threats, making it nearly impossible to make firewall changes fast enough to prevent data breaches. ProACT gathers threat intelligence from the firewalls, IDS, and security event managers (SIEMs), and aggregates this with external threat intelligence streams, risk-scores the aggregated threat, and then PoliWall takes action to stop the threat.”
How it works:
First, ProACT aggregates multiple sources of threat intelligence to provide the most accurate picture of the threat landscape and dynamically assesses the risk posture on the network so PoliWall can adjust access control according to your acceptable risk level. Then, ProACT’s real-time updating of IP threat intelligence feeds keeps pace with overwhelming number of new threats that are emerging faster than ever before. With ProACT’s live threat feed, PoliWall blocks IP threats as they emerge, and re-allows them when the threat is gone, preventing the blocking of legitimate IP addresses. PoliWall with ProACT’s automation gives security professionals advanced security tools to protect their critical IT infrastructure.
Doug McClanahan, Director of Business Development, Concanon, a PoliWall VAR and lead Splunk integrator says, “We are impressed with PoliWall’s ability to send security data to the Splunk SIEM for visualization and analysis. ProACT now completes the circle by taking Splunk SIEM threat information data and aggregates it with other threat intelligence feeds for automatic risk-based blocking on the PoliWall platform, which closes the gap between identification of network threats, and action on the threat .”
PoliWall with ProACT advanced filtering provides the highest level of automated security without slowing down the network. When PoliWall receives the risk-scored threat information from ProACT, it automatically blocks the threat both inbound and outbound according to an acceptable level of risk set with PoliWall’s patent-pending user-defined acceptable risk level interfaces. With a mission-focus to secure critical infrastructures, Bandura has an opt-in feature for ProACT, which allows real-time threat information sharing with other ProACT users. ProACT communicates with all PoliWalls network-wide and takes action to stop these security threats in near real-time. ProACT can run on any machine in a network as well as in a public or private cloud, and has an open SDK for tailored device integration.
