Intrusion Detection
An IDS should be considered one of the many components that a well-formed security strategy employs to protect data. The Hermetic Networks Sentinel adjusts to changing behavior patters to which a firewall is oblivious to detect, allowing it to prevent advanced network attacks 24/7.
Utilizing advanced monitoring techniques that give connections reputation-based labels, “unfriendly” requests and machines can be dropped or rejected in a completely automated process.
The Hermetic Networks Sentinel can also detect unauthorized or abusive use of network resources and stop those resources from being allocated to unauthorized users or simply slow down traffic to maintain quality standards throughout the organization.
Active Gateway Protection
- Monitors and analyzes traffic directly at the Internet gateway.
- Dynamically blocks flood attacks based on reputation based heuristics.
- Carefully allocates network resources to legitimate users if network is under attack.
- Create exception list of users allowed to behave aggressively.
Robust Logging
- Automated event logs and reports
- Event tracking including source, reputation, and rejection rate.
Virus Blocker
Stopping viruses at your network’s Internet gateway is critical. Virus threats have shifted dramatically from eMail to a plethora of innocuous websites and malware outbreaks have scaled exponentially.
The Hermetic Networks Sentinel’s Virus Blocker is a best-of-breed anti-virus application for businesses, schools and homes that want the reassurance of robust virus protection.
It’s a commercial application that blocks viruses at the gateway of your network before they have the chance to infect servers or PCs, protects users in realtime over HTTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP and FTP, and automatically updates with new signatures every hour.
Highest Accuracy and Zero-Hour Detection
- Multi-layered, multi-engined detection using heuristics, emulation, and signatures.
- Consistently in top 10 for detecting zero-hour threats.
- Award-winning technology: VB100, West Coast Labs and ICSA awards for superior detection rates.
Maximum Performance
- Industry’s fastest performance, especially on clean files which are the majority of files scanned by any AV engine.
- Consistently low false positive rate.
Spam Blocker
The Sentinel includes an enterprise-class layer of protection against annoying, offensive and time-wasting unsolicited bulk eMail by utilizing industry-leading technology.
Traditional spam filters evaluate individual messages, assigning scores based on thousands of rules. This is one reason spammers enjoy temporary success with new types of spam. Each new technique requires time to adjust filters.
The Sentinel spam filter employs real-time scanning techniques in the cloud to analyze large volumes of traffic. New spam outbreaks are tracked and recorded and definitions are sent directly to each Sentinel device within minutes.
High Detection and Near Zero False Positives
- Blocks any new spam outbreaks with 98% accuracy within minutes.
- Optimized quarantine digest to make sure “good” mail is never mistaken for spam.
- Users can designate certain eMail addresses as “good” without having to bother your IT person.
Advanced Filtering
- Image based filtering — scans images within emails to stop this new type of spam.
- PDF, POP, IMAP & SMTP support
Operate your network more efficiently and secure its endpoints.
