Real-time Vulnerability Correlation
Vulnerability Correlation integrates a network scanner with the ISM. The scanner scans a network to identify the vulnerabilities on a variety of hosts. ISM’s Vulnerability Data Collector then polls each scanner machine to collect the latest scanned data at regular polling frequency and converts the scanned data to an iPolicy-standard XML format. The scanned data is then uploaded to the GSA machine, from where it is then downloaded to the IPF.

Features:

  • Real-time correlation in the IPF allows dynamic IDS/ IPS actions
  • Management console integrated in ISM – allows unified control
  • Integration with industry standard Vulnerability scanners like Nessus and Retina (eEye)
  • Correlation using industry standard vulnerability data like CVE, Bugtraq
  • Asset based Intrusion Detection and Prevention actions

Benefits

  • High Accuracy in Intrusion Prevention actions based on host vulnerability status
  • Significant Reduction in False Positives in Intrusion Detection
  • Prioritized Event Analysis in context of assets/targets
  • Eliminates manual correlation overhead and allows efficient usage of Vulnerability Data

Dynamic Application Decode and Control

  • Dynamic Protocol Detection
    • Detect applications on non-standard ports
    • Detect port-hopping application activity
    • Support for VoIP – SIP, H.323
    • Decode P2P : FastTrack (Kazaa), Gnutella, eDonkey
